1 Shade of Grey

Well since my last update, I have not made a lot of progress on any of the projects clogging up the workbench.
This has been partly due too a nightmare couple of weeks at work, and one of the side effects of my condition meaning my hands shake and spasm which makes N gauge challenging to say the least.
Anyway my frustration at not actually doing any serious modelling grew to a level greater than the obstacles in the way, so I have managed to make a little progress.
As a result my attempt to produce an N gauge Stanier Mogul saw me fabricate the dome and top feed, which is not as fine as I would like it but it will do for now.
I've managed to add the handrails reverser and other details (or at least impression of the details) a lot of sanding and filing hast taken place. As a result she has received her final coat of primer, and soon she will get her final black coat (soon for me will probably mean Christmas).
The major job outstanding before she may enter the paint lining shop is working on a method of attaching the body to the chassis, so who knows when this will happen.
The other locomotive that has seen some progress is on the Black 5 with the self weighing tender, I think the majority of work has been completed on the tender, and its received its final undercoat.
There is still a little work to be done on the actual locomotive, but again its not far off being able to join the fleet so I reckon by 2019 there may be a little variety to my Class 5 fleet.
So I guess that's about it, until the next time as ever Happy Modelling
