- My latest Accucraft Edrig conversion is a 7/8ths" scale tender loco with radio control on the regulator and an SSP Slomo in the tender. The inspiration was found in the fictional "Slate Railway to Churchwater" by Brian Clarke and the basis was my earlier 16mm scale conversion videoed as Bert Webster (Edrig's Tender). He was a top link GWR driver (my wife's granddad) so the huge roundel is a not to him as well to the fact that the Churchwater railway was taken over by the GWR (in the book). This loco will be named after his son Bertie in due course.
The rolling stock is scratch built from strip wood, bamboo pen pots, plant labels and use wheels etc. from Binnie Engineering.
The filming took a long time and this was after a lunch break where the guard visited the local pub. I only realised that he had passed out when the filming was over!
