Well it's all done now. Totally updated Hornby Railroad 9F. Practically complete. Only a couple of touch ups needed where I've glued things after I've painted.

Weathering is the same as the Ivatt, including Red frames.

As I plan to try and give a bit of individual character to all my locomotive stock. I'm going to try and have the crew doing different things. This time the fireman is enjoying the the wind in his face whilst the driver calls him over. There's a pipe hanging from the firemans side, I reckon a hose, as to why I don't know, but I've seen alot of this happening in photos but not in model form.

The tender bulkhead has been given a taillmap ready for light engine use, copper made fire irons in the hole and a sparsely used scratchbuilt brush.

Coal as been strategically place around and in the tender to give the work a day nature of this engine.

So there it is, what next, well I genuiely don't know! But feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hi -

 

The pipe was used mainly for damping down coal-dust on the tender, & washing down the cab floorboards. Quite often a piece of squashed copper tube was inserted in the end to increase the spray effect!

Lovely job, Mr T! It just shows what is achievable with even a relatively basic model when you apply some skill and creativity. I like this a lot.

Thabnks you very much guys. I can't say it was heavenly to update. It's been a bit of a nightmare and was a minor cause of a few personal issue but it's done now and I'm relatively happy with the outcome!

Nice work, looks even better in the flesh!

 

I agree with Scan man the mysterious hose is the 'slacking pipe'

Cheers chaps. I think next up is a rake of box vans and I'm going to try and re-work my esso tankers from before to try and get them exhibitionable!
