A little more work this afternoon,

Exams are now finished, so back to work tomorrow (and the long wait for the results in January!)

Today's work has focused around the cab, the new floor was added from black 40 thou and then added a bulkhead on the back of the cab. It now just needs an appropriate back head adding (something else to add to the Gibson order.)

I have also added the 10 thou firebox sides

While I had the camera out, I also got this photo of what is currently going through the works

Starting from the bottom:

7723

Collett goods - awaiting the etched parts finishing off, and a chassis build

Mitchell 43xx, - the body only needs paint, the chassis is just waiting for a set of wheels

58xx

4575 I am still trying to get the chassis to work reliably, dodgy crank pins and slightly off quartering is the current issue (I will never touch gibsons that are not ready drilled again!)

Finally an airfix large prarie, given to me by a friend at school (whos sister had trampled the chassis) The intention is to rebuild it and fit to a Comet chassis. Its something of a long term project, the intention to use it on an excursion rake.
