7mm Manning Wardle L Class Contractors Loco

[makhis]

Just finishing off my Manning Wardle L class 0-6-0ST (1923). The body is only resting on the chassis as I shall be adding some additional weight to it. The Driver is obviously expecting trouble as he is holding a large spanner presumably to give some part a good whack. The actual loco was named Winston Churchill rather than my choice of name Albion.

That's looking well Mike, did you make the oil can?

Hi Rob, the oil can is a brass casting,but the spanner is a couple of small washers soldered to a piece of nickle silver and filed to shape.
cheers

I must be blind - I hadn't noticed the spanner - I will remember that one. Can I ask whose brass casting the oil can was, I made one before but it was a bit fiddly and I would like another for the next loco?

Hi Rob, the oil can is from Laurie Griffin/Shedmaster Loco Tools G1006L.
