Thread: GNR Stirling Locomotive

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

Magnificent Keith,

Now that's a museum quality model!!

Can't wait to see her mounted on her tracks....

You've done yourself very proud with patience, precision and wonderful detail TOP MARKS indeed...

Cheers Peter

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

Well put Peter definitely agree with what you said. Just magnificent.

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.

Thanks Bruce.

The tracks will add that bit extra. I will get Cathie to take a photo with me behind it for some idea of scale - but must warn you - 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???

YES

Hi Guys,

Following request - here are photos showing the size of my loco (compared to me and my dog) The dog is a larger than normal chihuhua.

Wish I had the amount of hair Crowie has

To, the ridiculous

But, under the flash paint job AND the wings, lies the same lamp as above!

Now that's way past petty!!!

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.

What's this Keith can't afford a razor

Train is looking great looking forward to seeing the track construction when painting is complete on the train
