Hello fellow forumites!

I'm starting a new project; the brass kit mfg HNJ's steam locomotive class N3!

This is the contents of the kit:

Seems to me to be a good kit! :-)

This is the progress so far.

The gearbox was a bit fiddly to get smooth, but after some fine adjusting, it is super nice!

:-)

The boiler is made from thick brass tubes and cast brass pieces.

It was a job for the propane torch!

Just going to add the smoke box overlay and the boiler bands before detailing it.

The tender chassis is very nicely designed and went together true and square without any trouble.

The goal is to complete this loco in 50 hours. :-)

I'm only 3.5 hours in the project so far....;-)

Love it... the proportions of the loco are oddly attractive, I will watch this one with interest!
