URIE G16 Class 4-8-0 / Airfix B.O.B / W.C With a Comet Chassis.

Just catching up with this one. Long time since I saw someone build a G16. Mine was the Falcon Brassworks one, and it wasn't as easily done as yours. There was also a  mistake in the etching where the radius rod passed through the slidebar holder, but you seem not to have had that problem. Overall very well done.

Always enjoyable and inspiring someone build a loco, especially ex LSWR Drummond/Urie types. 

My obsession is the H15 4-6-0.

PDK do a good job for the hobby, particularly for SR and LNER modellers. I have built a PDK D15 and H15.

 

Keep up the good work Ray.

 

kind regards,

West Country 34003 Plymouth is finished. I weathered it with my Airbrush then put in the coal iinto the tender. Put the southern head code boards on the front, then the train board (Atlantic Coast Express). I've ordered a crew from Modelu waiting for them to come.

I have put in a Zimo MX648 sound decoder with a suger cube speaker and a red LED in the firebox
