Poor Mart, he's been like an expectant dad who's baby is not co-operating with arrival.

It'll be all sorted tomorrow mate and then you can get on with the fun stuff.

Bloody hell! There is actually a second Dolomite under there (or so it seems).

I can almost hear your shed sighing with relief from here!

Everything arrived safely. I wasn't expecting that many boxes of bits. :shock: :lol:

My neighbour came over and helped unload all the parts and gave us a hand lowering the engine on to my dolly wheels. We've started putting some of the stuff in the attic but I think we'll give it a good go tomorrow. It's like Christmas all over again.

Here are a few pics of the arrival of project no.8 (9 including the track Sprint)...
