Exactly Everything mashed into one!

Short of valve gear and con-rods there's not all that much more to be done with her I don't think.

That looks really good B.B.

this is soooo beautiful!

Really nice what would really set it of is GwR style brass valve surround on top of the boiler this will match your brass chimney top, I'm not a steamie myself I used to build real channel tunnel electric trains,but she looks the part

You know, I had been thinking about that but that would mean going to a domeless boiler unless I kept the valve atop the firebox, in fact, that might look just as good.

I think I'll have another poke at it later today, see if I can't make it more regal looking. That is of course if the gas-fitters finish their work when they said they would.

Maybe a rake of nice coaches to go with it?

Nice work!

you need to add the balance wieghts to the main drive wheels



very nice indeed

I'm aware of that, but until I work the rods and rest of it I'm reluctant to add them as I need to work out their size.
