Hello all just popping in to show you the progress I've made with the shunter.

This shows what I assume to be the forward access hatch, starboard side, I've drilled and cut out the molded grill and replaced it by gluing fine mesh behind it.

The main engine access hatches, starboard side, I removed the old mold by the same method as above and, as per above, glued fine mesh behind it, note the molded hand rail has been removed, somewhat crudely, with a craft knife.

Forward access hatch, port side, I'll leave it to you to figure out how I added the mesh.

Forward access hatch, port side, note again the butchered body work.

Finally an overall view, the 'OOTERS MISSING !!, removed with a craft knife, my finest work so far.

Nice work so far. Don't worry too much about the damaged bodywork, nothing a bit of filler won't put right. And anyway some industrial locos tended to fit up a few dents. Neat work carving the horn off.
