I'm in the middle of painting my Tower Brass 14xx and wanted to see what it would look like crossing the (future) road bridge having emerged from the tunnel mouth....

Here it is:

There is a long list of jobs to do still on the engine including GWR insignia, cabside number plates, buffer beam numbers, lamps, crew, fire irons on the back, brake rodding, firebox and ashpan sides missing from the Tower brass design, various levels of gloss, satin or matt in varnishes, a little weathering....

What fun it is to have such a cute little engine that goes so nicely!
