LNER V1/3 2-6-2 TANK (16)


Here we are finally at the strip down and big clean up time.

 

I think it is all done now. The castings have all been added although some are better than others. I am sure there are better ones out there. There is only so much time and effort that can be spent on a project.

 

I also added a representation of some of the oil pipes at the smokebox end. The roof had it's gutters and vent covers adding. To hold it in place I soldered a two wires at the front one in each corner to hold it in the right place. Then one on the centre at the rear which acts like a spring clip on a piece of wire soldered on the back sheet in the tool cupboard.

Hopefully next time I post it will be because there is some paint on the body. Must dig out my lining pen and practice a little. At least it is only one colour.

Hi Pete, well your perseverance paid off as always. Clearly a loco with a presence. Will it be LNER green?

Thanks Mikkel

 

It will be in black lined red. As it was right at the end of the LNER. I think only one was ever painted in green. Which is a shame as it probably looked very good.

Ah ok, well lined black isn't bad either. Just be carefuly you don't slip into LSWR green :-)

I have two kits at the moment that will be SR olive. But they are some way down the list.I have yet to do a green LNER loco. I assumed these were until I got this kit.
