Well its been a while since I posted anything about it (I've been distracted by Ruston rebuilds and 16T mineral wagons (I'm building a batch of 4 from Parkside kits)) but I hadn't forgotten this one. Since my last post about this loco I've soldered the bonnet (tab and slot), front bufferbeam, exhaust shroud (again tab and slot), steps, air horn and air tank (under the cab) in place. A couple of pics;

Everything went together well apart from getting the steps square but that's down to my incompetence.

I still need to solder the sandpipes and cabside handrails in place. The radiater grill, exhaust, front sandbox lids and the rivetted strip along the base of the bonnet will be glued in place later on.

Paul.
