As promised here's the 2-8-2 in all her unpainted glory so you can see what has been added to the basic Hornby green mouldings

it's actually 2mm shorter than a Brit. Yeah, lined black and I have the nameplates already.

 

Should be able to pop over sometime to see if it'll run on Duffield, as long as Derby arn't at home ;)

Looks great - I've enjoyed seeing this take shape. You've made an especially brilliant job of the pipework and running plate/valance, and I'm sure it will look great when painted and lined too.

 

You were searching for some draincocks a while back - no luck?

 

Inspiring stuff - thanks!

Your blog is and has been truly inspirational... and inspired me into something similar for my Deltic conversion... so, thank you. I look forward to the next stage... and I'll try to catch up with my Deltic and ensure I post something similar when I get to this stage too.

Fantastic!:clapping_mini:

Thanks all, it is a bit weird I must say to be accosted by stangers (ok RMwebbers!) at the Nottm show with kind comments about my work :D

 

As a postscript, the DCC ready Brit chassis I have bought for the forthcoming DoG project has lubricators etc, I might fit these yet ......

Yes, it's looking good. I have to say I thought it looked better without the smoke deflectors... but then I don't like smoke deflectors... :) But yes, it's very good indeed.
