Next step. Build the kit:

Some detailing done, added doorsprings, some rodding and thinned down the brakehandles. Three link couplings, with screw points added for Bachmann's Nem shaft mounting blocks . Brass pinpoint bearings and lead flashing glued to the chassis for some much needed weight.

Base coats

Ironwork painted black and sides gloss varnished. (with a brush, being a lazy sod I couldn't be bothered with using my airbrush.)
