Peckett E Class - Minion
In the end, we decided Minion was a better name than Munchkin and the loco has emerged from the finishing shop for running in. I daresay it will get grubbier after such exertions.
Happy that it seemes to work ok. The pickups are going to give a bit of grief but I wanted to avoid using top bearing wipers as recommended in the kit. Time will tell if I have to revert to this system.
Saddle tank is full of lead which helps. Nameplates are from Narrow Planet and the works plates something I've had for ages from Golden Arrow. Both fixed with Klear.
I'll give the engine a light waft of weathering when I have time but that will have to wait for now.
Am operating Cirencester at the Farnham show this weekend so may take Minion down for a bit of running in when Dave isn't looking.
