A few small steps forwards

Well, the 72XX has taken a few small steps forward. Now we have the next problem, the motion bracket has been laminated from three thicknesses and now doesn't fit over the slide bars. I think I will ned to look at that when I am feeling more awake. But for now this is were I am. The cab roof and the slide bar are just laid in place, everything else is firmly attached.

I really do like this loco and can see it getting ever closer to being finished, or at least to be ready to be painted.

Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but it occurs to me that the cylinder covers are a bit too vertical. The tops of the wrappers should incline in a bit further to come inside the footplate valence - it looks like the etch didn't provide for this.

 

Some "in service" photos here for comparison: http://www.7200trust...x?cat=inservice
