Nearly there! - the E4 (ex GER - not SR!) is almost finished.

I hadn't realised it's been so long since I last posted an entry. It's not as though I haven't been doing a lot, I have, but I just haven't recorded a lot to put on here. Apologies!
In earlier posts, I have put up pictures of the BR (ex GER) E4 2-4-0 that I've been building from the Nu-cast (ex Stephen Poole) kit. It's now nearly complete - the only work left to do is put balance weights on the rear driving wheels, complete the front coupling (the hook's in place, the rest isn't!), weather the loco then coal it and it will be finished. I've put some pictures below. The greatest compliment I've received so far is someone who should know better asking me if it's an Alan Gibson kit!
As well as almost finishing the E4, I've started weathering the J17 but haven't got any pictures yet. I've also nearly finished a Gresley 51ft Pigeon brake and ex GNR all third articulated set. I've also started building a PDK kit for a J19 which I will take some pictures of and add to the blogshortly.
Any questions feel free to ask, and if you want to see the E4 live, it will be running on the Mid Essex MRC layout Blackwells Brewery at the St. Neots exhibition on March.
