Another couple of interesting points since the last picks are the bonnet vents made by pressing a screw driver bit into brass sheet with the Proxxon pillar drill and the and the bonnet exhaust turned up by me on the lathe - yes I can do something with it! Only a basic weathering as was rushed out for Nottingham;

It is fitted -in rather rudimentary fashion, with a Diditrax 64bit sound decoder and a stay alive which has resulted in a a brilliant slow speed performance and the 08 sound profile doesn't seem too out of place! When things got a bit quieter towards the end of Sunday at Nottingham, I was able to set it running from one end of the layout, go to the loo and get a cuppa, all before it got to the other end!

 

Here is the Dick Kerr;

This ran pretty well but disgraced itself slightly with the motor coming loose at one stage but was easily sorted.

 

And here it is with the other Dick Kerr that I have fitted with a rolling chassis so it can double head with ease;
