That's that done, a few modifications I have to make now, mainly the underframe locating points were a bit too wide - still trying to work out why, as I pinched the dimensions from another kit that worked.

 

Anyway, it's turned out rather well. I thought I would just be using this one to test the dimensions, then scrap it and make another to use on the layout, as this one has some fairly pronounced print layer lines - however, now it's painted, you can't really see them so it's earned itself a reprieve. They're still there in photos, but not visible with the naked eye (unless you get very close). Even the transfers wrapped around the strapping nicely.

 

I will be making this kit available to buy at some point, but I'm holding off on that for a short while, as depending how various conversations go, I might be able to produce them via someone else, which could help improve the quality. 

 

Now I just need to weather it, and make a load for it. I'm thinking it'll be delivering a couple of engine parts to the colliery, for the static engines powering the workshop or pit pumps...
