Since the last update it has been given the extra Southern region marker lights, and various other small details. The airtanks under the footplate were replaced by some larger ones made from evergreen tube, and the various front and rear end clutter added (including extra handrails, and the rackets that hold shunting poles).

 

Now ready for some touching up and transfers.

Nice work, Pete, but isn't it a bit 'mainstream' for you or are you just working your way towards the Bulleid/Paxman 11001? :-)

I'm tempted by 11001 - one day I'll do it.

 

To cut a long story short, I've spent a bit too much time on building kits of obscure Southern classes, and not enough on detailing all of the more mainstream RTR models I've got in the cupboard. The 04 (and 03) are an attempt to rectify this. I guess it's part fo the problem of not having a layout at the moment.
