No paint on yet but we're nearing the point where we'll need o break out the brushes!

Frustratingly I cam to fit a few parts tonight and couldn't find the materials... the steampipe down the drivers' side of the boiler needs 1mm plastic rod (I had a few odds and ends of this stuff left after my first GC clerestory carriage, but between putting it away a few weeks ago and coming to use it tonight it has done a disappearing act) and I need to buy ome new handrail (on order from an Eba supplier).

Boiler fittings are from the Craftsman range of whitemetal castings and I'm very happy with them. I think actually this is the third or fourth model these particular parts or at least the chimney and dome, have been fitted to- a pair of scratchbuilt Directors (since scrapped) and my first iteration of a Jersey Lily, I think.

The front bufferbeam was a little involved- it comes off of a Hornby Patriot, if you can believe it! It had to be cut free from the Patriot moulding, then filed and cut down further to suit the B4, and then needed drilling out to accept the buffers- Robinson round pattern whitemetal castings, again from Craftsman.

Anyway; photos!
