...and now for something I am particularly proud of...

Even more enthusiasm to do the difficult yesterday..

 

The K2 has an oil pot on the top slide bar which is quiet predominant in the pictures. I was tempted to only solder on a piece of brass rod, but then I thought I would have a go at making it look better with a flange and some of the simulated bold heads that I got from SH.

 

The pictures are a bit ropey I know..

I also decided to bite the bullet and while the cylinder assembly was off the chassis, chemical black all of that area. No more all brass K2 :lol:

Bloomin' 'eck, that is very impressive JB B) How big is the part you've made - I'm guessing a couple of mil at most?

You mean it doesn't open so you can actually put some oil in it? tongue.gif

 

Excellent modelling JB, hope you're documenting it for a feature in the S7 Newsletter - any thoughts on opening firebox doors and that sort of stuff?

Well, measuring it, it's actually bigger than I thought it was... 3.8mm wide x 2mm high..

 

The simulated hex heads are 0.7mm wide.

You shouldn't joke Pint... you really shouldn't :lol:

 

I want to finish of these three engines first, and then I can start on the opening firebox doors. I was tempted after seeing Colins E4 and the opening doors, to make the locker doors on the K2 tender open and have loads of rubbish and lamps inside, but I decided to leave it alone this time, as it would have meant a near on total strip down of the front of the tender.

 

Next time.... next time, I have to draw a line somewhere :lol:
