...and I'm pleased to say it trundled up and down the test track quite happily once the pick ups had been wired in (36swg phosphor bronze).

 

Body work detailed ongoing including replacing the original Mainline front lamps with Western Region brackets.

 

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the way this is going.

It's looking lovely - I might recommend thinner gauge wire for the grabs and bonnet handrails though? Perhaps 0.35mm? The finesse of the finish on the rest of the model would really benefit of more delicate looking grabs.

Looking good, although I think your horn could do with a little attention :D

Hmm, maybe I should click on one of these spam e-mails offerring ahem, certain blue pharmaceuticals :D

38SWG? Where can I get some of that?

Whoops. Sorry it's 36swg and it's from Eileens Emporium. :rolleyes:

I went and looked at some of my research material which showed you are right of course. I've duly changed them to 0.31mm and it does look better.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. It is always appreciated. :)
