Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

Looks wonderful but I bet the transformer got warm.
Just out of interest one loco has tarnished pipework and the other looks gold plated, any particular reason for this?
 
Ta guys ..
Yes.. the tarnished one is mine , Facebook bargin that has seen a lot of use and it's shows ..I've refurbished it but think the brass looks better for it ..
Paul's, is fresh out of the box.. not exposed to sunlight/wear. ECT. .well till we gave it a good run..previous owner of Paul's said it was never run..sat in it's box...
 
Break in dad taxi duties this afternoon..

The added heat, for quicker curing of adhesives etc., is a little fierce though! :eek::shake::shake:
