Modelling on a £1200 table.
Hi everyone, Not a great deal of action hes been going on with this loco for a month or so, (maybe 6 months :scratch: ) I bought the unstarted kit from Phill a couple of years ago and keep having a stab at it. decided I did'nt like the resin bogies supplied so it will be having etched ones with flywheels and derin drive etc. Phill has stolen all the bits I'd got together for it to rescue his Warship "Highflyer" :scratch: Iam gonna re bogie this loco for him (favour for a favour kind of thing) so once I have all the bits back again and have got some Slaters wheels at GOG Kettering there could well be some progress. I got a DJH/Tower Warship nickel silver detail etch for it which has roof fan grilles, window frames, step kick plates, guttering, sandbox covers and various other details which are far crisper than the detail on the resin body. had to open up the cabside windows quite a bit to accept these but ive just been working my way around the loco fitting various bits as I go. The roof fan grilles are particularly good they are in 3 layers which ive laminated together with solder before fitting. Once again with this been a lower end kit its a case of how much work you prepared to put in to get something fairly decent at the end of it :scratch: Also I got some cabs from Steve Beattie to go in in due course... PS; cant decide Onslaught or Cockade??? :scratch: :wave: Ross .....
