FORNEY 044 SCRATCH

[JGDURAND]

Hello to all and best wishes for 2015.
Although I did not post for several months, I read to you every day with diligence.
Today I present you my last scratch,which I absolutely wanted to finish before the day of Christmas.
It is about Forney 044. I had begun the boiler and the cabin, 25 well years ago, but never finished
I took back everything from A to Z by trying to be the most faithful possible, what does not exclude that he can have errors there.
I was not able to installed stepladders, otherwise the machine did not pass on R1
Wheels are Piko, the engine Mabushi and the gears of the LGB.
She will be equipped with a remote control later
I leave you judges

Truly amazing work! I have had both LGB and Bachmann Forneys but yours is surely the best.

Very good and nicely 'used'. Does the motor drive the trailing bogie or the main wheels.?
