D16/3 coal and couplings...er... mudguards!


Fen End Pit

543 views

A bit more progress over the last couple of evenings. I've added some coal into the tender (I've got to clean off a bit of dilute PVA that leaked down the tender foot steps). I've also made up a couple of brass splashers that fit just behind the pony trunk wheels. At the moment there are just attached to the chassis with some bits of sticky-fixer just to see if the loco would still go around the corners!

 

Also I fitted some Alex Jackson couplings to the tender so I can now enjoy the sight of the loco pulling something!

Still needs a :-

  • little more detailed weathering, probably just some dry brushing
  • glazing (I think both windows were glazed)
  • pipework on buffer beams
  • smokebox number plate and shed plate (I know it is probably wrong but I think I'll have to put 31a on it even if this number was never actually allocated to Cambridge (it would have been if the Empire Basin loop had been built!)
  • was there a loco power classification under the number and if so what, 2P?
  • I think I also need a couple of oval builder plates on the front splashers
  • I could do with a drawing or picture which shows the injector which I think was behind the footsteps on the right hand side under the cab

nearly there then....
