The previous post didn't do justice to the Jinty, so here is a close up:

No coupling rods and a few other details but she's almost complete. The body will be primed as soon as those details are added and then painted in Dirty Black which seems appropriate to a 1950s trainspotter! Looking at Flickr photos of the preserved Jinties is a bit like ordering Japanese food from their menu photographs. It's all a bit too perfect, which is one of the minor gripes I have about the heritage railways (the major gripes are something else, like them being rude to the faithful on gala days, but that's another story).
