well had a very good weathering session in the painting shed this afternoon! so thought all was going well and said right i`ll put the 9f to ones side and go and paint some toysoldiers for an order ive got to do then I will put me numbers on the 9f! well got it all ready and decided to do a test run after weathering! and yes it ran sort of! so sorted the bent valve gear thought great then the tender drive exploeded gears off etc! so went back to triang tender drive MK1 version runs ok with this so now got to either find a way to rebuild the mk2 later tender drive unit or use the trusty Mk1 triang one! oh the fun of thinking this will be a quick fun job to do!

so took a couple of pics! and a quick tip before you spray weathering around the chassis put a spot of oil on the slide bars and conections etc on a small amouint is needed that way it helps not to gum it up!

anyway here`s a couple of pics and sorry for the typing but its nearly 1am in the morning!:blink:

cheers ian
