This next shot gives a better idea of my construction methods.

Next up was the outline of the fuel tank

Following a kind suggestion I have made the bogie end of it concave to allow it to sit more off centre.

 

Having taken these pictures I decided something was missing at under the buffer beam, it just didn't look right and was obvious the bogies were just cladding. So some more research on the net I hatched a plan.

The snow ploughs look good. THe only other detail the bogies could do with is a representation of the axle box area.

thanks for the image Simon, it was on my mind I have just been working out the "easiest" way of creating a plasticard disc or something that could be used. I had thought of using a hole punch on some plasticard but dont think the resultant disc would be big enough. The image also shows how the section across the back of the bogie is a "C" section which is usefull
