Reading of the use of fire irons, I believe that The Great Bear's cab roof was cut back as someone managed to jam an iron between the he roof and firebox.

 

First class weathering on the Panniers, by the way.

In light of the discussions on a couple of forums of late re the use of RSU's, no soldering iron came any where near the above model but I have to admit to using  epoxy to secure the white metal fittings.

.... The white metal chimney was replaced with brass tube......

 

What diameter of brass tube did you use and where did you obtain it ?  I have several old Airfix vans to complete....

Hi John,

those little touches do really bring a model to life. It must be a warm summer day, with the guard enjoying the breeze as your train clatters through Worseter

Interesting that she ran into exactly the same problems in 7mm as I did in 4mm. I have only checked upto the point that I am currently at. I will check out the rest of it. Meanwhile this is the progress to date. This shot also shows how over etching has almost removed the rivet detail. I see the bars on the cab windows are bent again. Tip, make them the last thing you fit before painting!

Sorry, but no, I model in 4mm. I suppose I could scan them and increase it too 7mm and you could cut yourself some paper ones. :jester:

 

 

 

It might come to that yet !

 

Thank you and apologies to you John for going off at a tangent on your thread.
