Some of you will have seen the layout thread on Millicent Street that our group are building. Well, last November saw the first loco kits purchased from Laurie at JLTRT. They were a 2-8-0 WD and a cl.08 shunter. This week has finally seen me start the 08 kit. A few hours earlier in the week saw me wash and clean the various parts and today saw me spend a hour or so making the cab interior.
When finished, it will represent D3675, a loco which spent all it's life in Hull. The build won't be quick as this is the first 7mm loco I will have built and I don't want to wreck it!
Anyhow, this is how my bench currently looks with the kit spread out.
And this is how the cab looks
As the build progresses, I'll post updates. As ever, all advice and guidance welcome.
