The Saga of Polly

I'm not the only person who into both RPGs and Trains. Here's what one of my PBeM players has been up to. It's currently got as far as a working chassis. No boiler yet, and five more installments to go.

I think I'll stick to N gauge. Though with the invoice I've recently had from CJM, I don't think it's any cheaper in the long run.

I think I should make clear that the locomotive is of the class "Polly IV" and not called Polly. She does have a name, which will not be posted until the final kit, but I can reveal that the cab number will be "1303".

1303? Clearly not your anniversary :)

Correct, it is not the date of our wedding or the aniversary thereof. Nor is it either of our birthdays, and I don't use it as a PIN on any of my cards - though come to think of it it is a stylish place to put a reminder! The reason for the number will also be revealed with the name, unless guessed in advance!

Just a reminder that if you are interested in Polly locos the annual rally is at Sheffield this year 2006. September 9th details on Polly Engineering website.
