And for my next trick we are going back to simple 6 coupled tank!!!
I found out this was missing some of it's dummy inside valve gear. So Scorpion kindly sold me another set, but Brazil's post office managed to lose it. I can't be bothered to order more, so I will adapt a set that I have. Which is a shame as I had it earmarked for my 0395 class, as I am going to scratch build most of that I suppose I should do the valve gear too.
I have been searching to find which cab roof bunker combination to do. I think it will be down to a choice of two locos. One open and one closed cab. As it will be for sale at the end I may go with the open cab. But we will see, there is more research to do before I start.
I have not built a pannier tank for a couple of years so it will be a change from tender jobbies. The kit looks very good and has lots of nice brass castings, the white metal ones are nice and clean. The way the brass sprue's are done the spares box will be getting some top up items. But Tuesday I will be back on the mogul.
As for now I am away from the bench, having a weekend away in the countryside. A rather nice place in the same state as we live, but about 7 hours away by car, the view taken this evening from where we are staying.
