Don't worry Ian that's not even the roof for this model , I just plonked one on for the camera that I had rolled as a test. The proper roof will be from 0.010" material.

That's a thing of beauty Col
Thanks Rob, there is still some detail work to do, cab interior mainly, roof and then into paint.

There might be a bit more work because it looks like some toe-rag has nicked the copper tubes out of the boiler.
Seriously nice work though.

If you are referring to the smoke tubes and the superheater flues then likely to be CDS rather than copper given the date when those boilers were built.

This BR livery was started in'49 ( top link loco's were blue), the revision from crest to totem came in '56, I believe that all express loco's then went green ( mixed traffic black) with some top link LMR loco's being painted crimson .

Try Yeadon for this class... the photo of Arsenal in early BR days is quite interesting hence my question about the earliest date for Arsenal as depicted here.

She's been built to the condition she was in when at Stratford 30A c 1955, she still had the original type boiler not being changed till '57 then srapped '58 !
I have not seen the Yeadons so can not comment Grahame.

I have a Taylor Hobson K model, having patterns cut by laser would save some time I'll admit, that's if I could do the cad drawings, but I'm happy to cut them by hand.

Nice choice of pantograph and would have been my choice had I not picked up mine at scrap value although it now plays second fiddle to my cnc engraving machine. I will probably keep it for the heavier cuts and because I like old machinery.

S7 ? oh yes, it's destined for Monks Eleigh, the last loco apparently.

Not a fan of Arsenal myself (more of an Argyle man
), but I do like B17's. And this one is stunning on all levels. Beautifully observed.Cheers
