Hello again,
here's a short update and snapshot of the L&B Manning Wardle project. So many little things needed either making or attaching (I'd avoided all the oilpots and lubricators - 4 types on the cylinder assembly! - plus completion of the cab fittings' installation til now). There was also the small matter of making the things run smoothly with all the properly working Joy valvegear...
Proper photographs will be done soon, but I was excited to show where these two had got to after a long gap in updates. The weathering is much needed now to highlight the small details and bring them properly to life.
The madness of the lone model maker exemplified in narrow gauge form.
Best regards
Tom
