I'm back on the modelling horse again - ironically, I've moved to Tyneside and this has spurned me to to think about some of the projects I have in mind around this neck of the wood. Where I've moved to is not too far from Tyne Dock which has bumped me 9F project further up the list to convert it to 92064. Also going to ram through with the J27 to get something done before 2017 conks out on us.
So far I've gotten close to the structural completion of the model with a cab scratch built. I'm just building a basic cab with elements purely representational without it being finescale. In addition to that, the way the chassis comes away from the body mean that the cab will have to be removable.
A lot of the dodgy modelling will disappear once painting and weathering occurs and the crew are added and it's placed in the loco.
The tender bulkhead also needed to to be updated to look the part... theres still some work to get it finished but the main components are effectively there. Again, i'm just adding bit to make the locomotive look a little more complete without falling into finescale representation.
More to come soon.
