Caley Jim Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 This might be a bit off the wall for this forum, but today I took a break from platform canopies and set about this: Which was a father's day present from my daughter. Its a laser cut kit for an american style loco and tender. Surprisingly good instructions and very cleanly cut and accurately fitting parts, but needing care as some are a bit on the fragile side. I wasn't sure what the two little things at the rear (A11) were, but they turned out to be the crew's seats! The backhead: It has some slightly strange things about it though. Firstly both sets of wheels are in rear mid centre! Secondly there are two big gears inside the boiler! However, it was a pleasant way to spend a driech Saturday afternoon on something a wee bit different and it makes a nice display model.
