All the glue has dried and I’ve assembled the components of the new loco to see what it looks like.

Would it be possible to cut away the skirt under the boiler? And then use some plastic tube to finish off the bottom section of the boiler barrel??
Apart from that it looks good except that I feel the footplate could do with being a millimetre or so longer at the front, bringing the bufferbeam further forward.

Oh, and I’d change the skinny chimney as well, RT Models sell some nice examples.

  Hi Paul, These are all good suggestions but.. argh… I’ve glued it all together now. I will ask you before I wield the epoxy in future!

It’s looking delightful, Steve. Can’t wait to see it finished and running.
