Popular Post KNP Posted February 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) All the odds and ends for 7768 now added and the crewless loco waits in the bay platform for..........no idea as it is just sitting there at the moment. I have to say that I have not used Dart Casting brass loco tools before but was very impressed with the end result, so much so that I have just ordered 4 more sets and will start to replace the rather oversized white metal ones I've used in the past. Pep pipe added and it appears to have leaked down the side as well! So I now have a top feedless Pannier which turned out easier to do than I first envisaged, so long as you took it steady and carefully that is, I might even convert my other two so they are correct for this era.

MrWolf Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Looks like I need to do a little surgery on my panniers. That loco does look the part. Once I have the rest of the layout built of course.... 1 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks really nice, the pep pipe looks spot on and I like the spare firing shovel in the hand-rail. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I love that last pic Kevin, with the bikes and the bin, its the small details that matter, and its almost as if the Loco being there, is in the way for the photographer.

Probably snap off the other engine shed door, or possibly snap the engine shed off the door.. . However it went, it wouldn't go well. I was so impressed with the panoramas I have shown them to a couple of artist friends. They were stuck for superlatives, which makes a change. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
