Coming along well Mr.B, there is something about the outside motion that sets these off to my mind.

 

I hope you don't mind me posting my ongoing 7mm version trail here to keep you encouraged ?

 

 

Out of interest who's wheels / rods will you be using ?

 

All the best,

Very nice sir.  I do like an S4 boiler and the old OSF and impressive in 7mm.  You can't get an etched brass tender like that in 4mm but I have another solution.  I thought you would be all Broad Gauge bgman.  Thanks for posting.

 

My Jidenco Standard Goods was acquired so long ago, I got a set of Mike Sharman wheels for it directly from the man himself at a show.

 

The other loco was a more recent acquisition as a wreck of parts on eBay.  It came with a tender that I am using elsewhere.  That has a set of Gibson drivers waiting.

 

The rods too are old Gibson stock that I got donkey's years ago.  I don't know if they still do 7' 4" x 8' 4" but he did then.  They are earmarked for a couple of Buffalo tanks.  The fixed rods that came with the original M&L kits were very slender so those might be recycled for the Armstrong Goods.  Not decided yet.  I've had most of this stash since the 70's/80's so they are finally getting addresses during lockdown.
