I'm going to call them done....for now. This week the locos gained (detachable for paint) handrails, holes for lubricators, cab floor and crew. There were a lot of behind the scenes stuff as well, like the addition of pick-ups. A week with lots of bit-sy jobs.

I hope Mick D will be back from his trainspotting trip in the USA next week and can sort me out with some 3D printed chimneys, domes, smokebox doors and toolboxes. I also need some etched brass window frames. Fraser B is on holiday in Europe at the moment, so I'll have to wait until he gets home to the Southern Hemisphere to make me some brass safety valve plinths. I also discovered (thanks to Paul W) that YouChoos have some rather good upgraded speakers in their Lurve range that are very reasonably priced and much better than the Sugarcube speakers that come standard on ESU Loksound V5s.
