Seasons greetings to all those lucky UC builders out there enjoying an early Christmas with a lot of unpacking and gazing, open mouthed at the latest wonder from Kian and co.
No.25 arrived after a short detour and I have to say it was worth the wait. Idler and bogie units are getting their “first fix” with a bit of fettling on the front springs and a wee coat of primer. It’ll all come apart again for final painting and motive power fitting.
I have only one gripe so far. Who thought it was a good idea to split up the fixings rather than have individual bags of 25mm M3 cap heads etc.? What a faf it is finding the right bolts in a bag of mixed ironwork. I can safely say, ‘I’m not a fan!’ Don’t fix what ain’t broke and bring back the old system, even though it’s too late for me now.
Stay safe everybody and have the best holiday you can.

Re: UC No.25
Hey Phil
Hope you are keeping well and it's great to see you got your UC.
I purchased UC33 which arrived just before Christmas but so far I have only had a quick look at the bits.
This weekend I plan to check against the parts list and move it into a warmer spot.
I look forward to seeing your progress
