After a rather disheartening afternoons work on Brent, I’ve switched to a spot of loco modelling to reinvigorate motivation.

So 4547 and 2921 are both now fitted with etched plates from Modelmasters, the Saint is really coming together now. It just needs a chimney and cabside step fitting to finish the body (both of which are missing). With the tender finished, the need to get on and build the chassis is becoming more pressing. I will be looking again at the crankpin situation soon to try and get the wheels sorted.

That just leaves 1470 without plates fitted while I work out how I will sort out the DJM recess....
