An 8F for Trench Sidings
This loco, allocated to Stafford shed and will be numbered 48755 had a Fowler tender so it will be a little different from my other 8F.
This model is well travelled and must be the ultimate in collaborative modelling. My friend David Borman built the chassis (Comet) and tender (Brassmasters) . Dave Holt detailed under the cab and modified the front pony truck. I then fitted balance weights to the drivers and the cylinder drain cocks (both Brassmasters) before painting the chassis. The body is a Hornby one with lots of additional details (mainly from the Brassmasters 8F detaing kit) plus some Comet etches and has been modified to fit the chassis. Still needs some work on the body before painting particularly around the steam pipes into the smokebox.
The eagle eyed will notice the grey body is different from the black one as it has the boiler bottom.
