John, a couple of observations - the dome appears to me to be too far aft - OK for an A1 but not an A1X (there may be traces of it being originally attached in the correct position) - and the smokebox saddle appears to me to be too far forward (there should be an overhang). Nice to see a kit built Terrier taking shape, though!

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. First up I know nothing much about either the A1 or A1X Homework tonight is to read my Russell's book on SR locos.

According to the plan with the instructions, its in the correct place (A1?),

But I see the bunker extension has been fitted which is not on the plan.

The smokebox saddle according to the same plan is flush

Thanks I will look at my book but please feel free to tell me what's wrong

Thanks again

John

I've decided to spin the Terrier posts out of my general workbench thread - just to provide a bit more focus - the most recent post is here: 4mm - An EM workbench - Open Highs | Page 26 | Western Thunder Anyhow, a quick summary of the current state of play: Gradually, the loco is coming to...

In the box are a set of name and number plates for the ex WCPR / GWR no5 Portishead, other than the placement of the dome which one drawing shows is inline with the fillers another shows the A1X position
