“Lord Lamington”, Garth Bridgwood’s lockdown loco, built from the Association “Victory” kit with a number of refinements. “Lord Lamington” was another Decauville loco bought for use in the Australian sugar mills. Garth’s next project is to make a rake of sugar can wagons to run behind the loco. Photo: Garth Bridgwood.

What refinements have been added to Victory, may be candidate for model of the month ?

  When Garth sent me the photo, he commented:
  
  By moving the gas tank slightly I was able to lag the boiler and add a brass wrapper. The sprung plunger from an electric light socket was fitted to put some downward pressure on the trailing wheel assembly. More detailed buffer and drag beams were fitted along with a headlamp bracket. Also, the door from the original casting was removed and hinged to give better access for lighting the burner.
