GWR County 4-4-0 update
To recap, the object of this exercise was to check platform clearances before finally fixing them down. The County is one of only 2 outside cylinder locos that will run my pre-WW1 layout so it was the prime candidate for the job.

The chassis is complete and running apart from the brakes and the footplate assembled. The boiler is just plonked on for the pic. I had to remove a lot of metal to clear the crankpins on the rear drivers as can be seen:
