Hello – would anyone like a part-finished locomotive?

[mhollinshedParticipant @mhollinshed]

I’m afraid I piled in with a post in the Help and assistance section, as I’m not a model engineer myself – I’m only here to find a safe home for my late father’s part-completed ‘Betty the Mongoliper’.

The ideal new owner will be based within striking distance of Manchester, but my main objective is to find someone who will respect my father’s work so far, and finish the job, rather than break it up for scrap.

The tender is finished and painted, and I think the chassis is complete as well.  The core of the boiler looks to be complete, and there are various odd bits and pieces.  I have a further box of books and what I think is the manual for the build.

I’m not looking for money!  Just a loving home for something that still means a great deal to me.  Please DM me if you are interested.
