Pipework, valves and burnt fingers
Detailing has started on the bodyshell, the Comet Britannia/Clan/Duke detailing pack has been opened and the following added so far:
Smokebox dart
Safety valves
Clacks and feed pipes
Vacuum ejector
Steam manifold
Carriage warming valve
Injector steam valves
Here's a quick shot of the right side of the firebox showing the pipework so far.
A few more evenings to go with this one then it's the deflectors and footsteps. Once these are done then I think I will be in a position to take some photos to show the whole loco before paint. The intention is to show what has been added to the base donor plastic to better illustrate the work involved.
UPDATE:
Got the main pipes to the Exhaust Injector done plus the rocking grate linkage
Note the pipe from the yet to be fitted water valve is too fine and will be replaced with something thicker soon!
Im particularly pleased with the thin pipe that follows the line of the exhuast feed to the injector before taking a different route under the footplate
