Two Footers outside of the US / Re: SR&RL 10, new build in Wales

The latest report on the Forney build shows the rear truck; not sure if it's swing-link motion or not,

It looks to me to be non swing as there is no room for the bolster to swing nor are there ears for the links to go into.

Will it get a coat of something to help preserve the wood?

Wow! I've seen the photo of the small trestle in black and white (I think it was in Two Feet to Tidewater), but I didn't think there would be a color version out there!

It looks colorized and not a color pic.

That blower will blow wet leaves as well as dry.  Maybe better with wet as they dont fly around as much.  They just roll!  I use one al the time to keep our small RR track free of leaves and pine needles.

Wider tires!

I don’t think wider tires would make the gauge narrower!

Its the back to back that would be a problem between the gauges.
