Superb work to date please keep posting these beautiful photographs.

May I ask how you keep the soldered ? joints oh so clean. It's a testament to your workmanship in my humble opinion.

p.s.

When you've finished with your magic modelling wand may I borrow it for a while please ?

A warm fire and a stunning loco....what more could anyone want?

This looks like a top notch kit, built very well, and kept clean well, not a smudge of solder, fingerprints or discoloration in sight.
