Hi All,
I have pinstriped the tender (sides and rear) and have now filled the holes that the rail on top of the tender sat in.
Am now working on the rear buffer plate and also need to paint and fit the linkages to connect the six tender brake assemblies.
Once that is done I will commence work on the new lanterns for this locomotive.
The locomotive and tender overall length is just on 1.9 metres
For comparison - I have included a photo of the unpainted (primed) locomotive and after the majority of painting has been carried out.
Regards
Keith

In undercoat or top, it's a stunner. That said, the colour on it really makes it live!

Thanks for your kind words Peter - Still a fair bit to go. Rear buffer assembly, new lanterns, tracks and sleepers with ballast etc. Love working on model locos.
Really looking forward to the "Rocket" - lots of Engineering components.
Regards
Keith

So nicely done!!
It's turned out so nice the track will really set it off as you know from your other builds.
The picture just don't do it justice or give us a feel for it's size but out standing non the less.

""I am trying to grow a beard""
While you're working on you models do you sit there and strain to get your beard to grow faster???

Alan,
That looks like a Trev job - same colour as his "Indian".

What a dog. Sorry meant to type what a man. Damn, I should have said what a loco. Has come up well with the paint.
You can imagine the lamps could cop a bit of abuse in service being taken off and on the irons regularly. Being cleaned and refilled on a daily basis. While they are solid items and the basic design may not change much I am sure they would have subtle differences as well as the odd dint and scratch.
You will need to get back on track soon to get this project finished.
