Well, I've managed to sort out my issues with the white metal kit.

 

Also contacted Mr Alexander (twice as I relaised there were a few more bits missi9ng I hadn't noticed before) and on both occasions he was very helpful and issued the missing parts.

 

Top service :)

Anyway, I have rectified the wonky issue by filling at the axel holes and had a bit of a struggle desopldering and fettling the offensive part but it is not visably noticable now. Also I'm umming and arrhing to use some Bachmann tender wheels or the ones I was supplied with. The main reason being I don't think J39's had spoke wheels.

 

Anyway

 

So far I have filled in some noticle imperfections with the castings and sanded them down

and now I have added some of the brass bits such as tender steps, handrail knobs and brake standards etc etc.

I will add some hand rails later and then it should be ready for priming. I'm going to leave the buffers, air reserviour tanks and the tool/store boxes until at least the model is painted/weathered.
