Tender needs coal and a coupling, but that's about it really.

 

Went a bit mad with the Brit detailing pack I got off eBay, fitted the screw link coupling and backing plate (if that's the word?) plus the steam heat pipe as well as the cylinder drains that I bought it for. The rest will go to the Duke of Gloucester that is to come B)

 

Wonder if it still works?

 

UPDATE:

 

Couldn't resist taking this pic of the crew at work as it sat on my desk

Once it's really finished, and I've not ruled out a very light weathering, I will do a big photoshoot ahead of a mag article I've got lined up ;)
