Hall in the detail. Progress on 5993 Kirby Hall
Some progress on my model of 5993 Kirby Hall. Here's a photo of the loco ready for lining with all the detailing complete:
I've painted in the back head detail in the cab as well as replacing the lamp irons with staples. Cylinder drain cocks were made from small handrail knobs and scrap brass 0.45 handrail wire.
The screw reverser housing/handle has been refinished and the reversing lever has received a coat of Valejo gun metal.
A couple of questions as well regarding finishing 5993 as per this photograph:

1: Would there be a vertical piece of brass beading on the front of the cab side on a post war loco?
2: I'm right in thinking the covering over the pipes up to the safety valve would have lining on it?
3: The cabside lining would be as per the photo and not a simplified panel as in BR times?
Thanks in advance.
More soon on the 74xx and those Toads!
Cheers,
Mark
