BEATTIE 0298 CLASS (5.5)

After a chat with Ivan (Horsetan) I have redone the smoke box door. This is because it looked to big. The trouble is the kit is an inlargement of the Jidenco 4mm one. The boiler and smokebox I found out today are slightly undersize.

 

I was lucky as I found a whitemetal smokebox front in my pot of waste, that I melt down for ballast in locos etc. It turned down and shaped very nicely in the drill. It certainly does not look as cramped as it did. All the parts from the orginal were refitted. I now have a spare door in the parts box instead of the scrap bin.

I am pleased that I managed to sort a new door as it does look better now.

Looks so much more in proportion now.

 

Sometimes if you get the "face" of the engine wrong, it sort of kills the rest of it.
