Ressaldar 903 Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Richard, I trust that it will have a proper works plate - Ashford/Brighton/Eastleigh on it regards Mike Link to comment
28ten 17 Posted October 11, 2009 That looks rather good. Is that a cast firebox? Or is it just the light Link to comment
dikitriki 1,249 Posted October 11, 2009 That looks rather good. Is that a cast firebox? Or is it just the light It is a cast 'pewter' firebox. There is precious little 'white-metal' in the kit - firebox, smokebox door, backhead and tender springs/axleboxes - the rest of the castings are brass or nickel-silver. Richard Link to comment
Adrian 348 Posted October 12, 2009 Hi, That does look good. just one question though - whose kit is it? I struggle to get to many shows so I'm not too familiar with the various kits available. I would like to build an 8f at some point, I believe MOK do a nice kit but I've yet to see it in the flesh or photo's. Regards Adrian Link to comment

It's going to the BRM show at Peterborough for my demonstration stand, along with the A3. Yours Richard Link to comment
Rick White 6 Posted October 12, 2009 Very pretty indeed. Another masterpiece Richard. And though my own 7mm modelling concentrates on things a lot narrower in gauge, i find your models to be very inspiring. Link to comment
28ten 17 Posted October 12, 2009 I have had a better look at the picture now I am off the mobile, and that really is very nice :icon_thumbsup2: The tanks for the MOK Pannier are pewter as well but apparently they have been machined is some way Link to comment
Adrian 348 Posted October 12, 2009 It is an MOK 8F. I unreservedly recommend it. It's going to the BRM show at Peterborough for my demonstration stand, along with the A3. I thought it might be a MOK but I had a slight doubt due to the cast hinges on the smokebox door. Given their well deserved reputation I'd have expected something with a little more "profile".

dibateg 7,783 Posted October 12, 2009 Don't say that! He's probably already making new ones from strips of nickle silver! It's a very impressive model and inspired me to buy the same kit ( as yet unstarted! ). well worth the trip to Peterborough to see it. Regards Link to comment
