Been busy with other things but just finished a filthy Black 5.  Basically a Hornby model with a new chassis, I fitted sound (the speaker is a sugarcube between the frames under the chimney as it is EM.) I then lined it to weather it to match a black and white photograph which shows about 8 inches of lining on the cab side!  Lots of ink then lost of powder. Number and lining cleaned using a cotton wool bud and water.

And another EM Black 5.

44765 is the one I did properly, there's a Hornby 5MT in there but it has new etched frames fitted outside the Hornby block to bring it out to EM gauge. These frames have proper bearings in them, Gibson wheels, new motion and double block brakes. With the addition of wider spaced bearings the Hornby mechanism runs perfectly.
