Looks like there is enough room for a railway now
Seventy foot of this wall.

I hope this will cover your request to some extent JamieExcellently interesting, Steve. I will be very interested to hear (!) how different she sounds with the chuffer....

I got brave.I do wonder if I drilled a small hole in the side of the chuffer whether I would get the same balance of noise vs steam, but any condensate would be directed onto the chimney wall rather than up and over the model. I may just have to get brave, try it out on Ragleth and accept that I may need to sleeve the chuffer to restore it to standard afterwards.

Ah well, some you win, some you loose. Sometimes its back into the workshop.
Wow no fettling needed must be a very early impression from the mould...I've been a long time away from the bench this year so its been nice this evening to just sit down and build a kit straight out of the box as a way of settling back in again. The subject is a Northern Finescale 10mm kit for a rectangular tar tank. Its gone together very well, no flash, crisp mouldings and everything the right size.
Not too many bits in the kit - everything is plastic apart from the tank filler neck (resin) and the tyres / 3 links (metal).

In what seems fairly short order

All ready for a coat of primer tomorrow evening and soldering the three links up.
