Sandboxes have now been added to both locos.

For the standard gauge loco I used 3 x 1.5mm plastic strip with a rectangle of .030" plasticard glued to the top for the filler cap. Once the glue set hard the cap was shaped with a needle file to give the angled top before the sandbox was superglued to the footplate. Its easier to glue the top to the strip before its cut to length. It is 3mm high (not including the cap), dimensions taken from the Chasewater loco. A pic (white plastic doesn't photograph very well!);

Note the strengthening fillets behind the buffer beam, filed from scrap fret.

The narrow gauge loco has different sandboxes, this time made from 3 x 3mm plastic strip. Note the angle at the bottom edge;

I haven't fitted filler caps yet, these are round, 3mm dia., with a handle cast in. I'll add these later when (if?) I find a suitable etching.

Last night the standard gauge loco tried to abscond by jumping off the workbench which resulted in both rear corners of the roof getting dented. The LH side I managed to straighten but the RH side rear corner is still a bit dented;

However, the real things took a battering on the roofs as well as these two pics show;

So I think I'll just leave it as it is!

Next jobs are fitting the steps and making and fitting axleboxes (what look like axleboxes are actually gaurds).
