A little more progress on the 2-4-0 and it's starting to look a bit more like the prototype. However the further I progress, the more differences I pick up between the Isle of Man locos (on which the kit is based) and those supplied to the Ballymena & Larne (and thence on to the C&VBT). Most of these relate to the body. The side tanks should be taller, the bunker larger and there are lots of differences on the cab itself. As the buffers should also be a lot lower, I'm wondering if there was really very much the same! I guess each railway had its own specific requirements and locos were outshopped accordingly. Anyway I have been asked to build the body as the kit rather than scratchbuild all the bodywork, but I will try and modify the cab sides appropriately.
