Well tis` all done.

 

She left the paint shop on Friday and just needed the cab details painted up

Then Saturday saw the arrival of her etched No and builders plates from Severnmill products.

 

Not one of my absolute best builds and there were a lot of self inflicted problems along the way.

 

But she does look the bizz....

 

 

 

Any how , this month is a ten year anniversary of joining the Gauge O Guild. In 2008 I purhased a brass RTR GWR Pannier Tank from Tower Models.

 

She looked lovely....at first but I soon fell out of love with her over quite a few issues I could not accept.

 

So I painted her up in Wartime livery and sold her on.

Ten years later I`ve finally replaced her.............................

She`s a bit of a `rocker` on the rolling road which I think is due to a rogue Slaters driver as the rock is much less noticeable on the track but nevertheless has been there right from the very beginning of the chassis build.

Superb. Such a neat build. The weathering of the backhead is a whole little masterpiece in itself.
