The body for 7808 is now rapidly approaching completion, last night’s effort was a start on fitting the detail components.
Buffers (from the scrap box) were soldered on to the buffer beam, while the plate was soldered between loco and tender. White metal castings for the smokebox door, smokebox saddle, mud hole doors, and a few other small bits were glued in place. The outside steam pipes were a bit of mixed bag, with the brass example shorter than the other. This needed lengthening with some plasticard in order to get a good fit.
This just leaves a few more jobs remaining, mostly around the cab detailing and fitting the last few details (plus handrails). I need to order a safety valve bonnet cover and some suitable rod to knock up the top feed pipes. And scratch build the boxes forward of the motion bracket.
