RobMG Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi all I mentioned yesterday I would post a picture of the Mainline Churchward tender I upgraded with modified frames, and axleboxes, so here it is . Also a couple of other pics of the loco. I have almost completed a Comet chassis,I cut away the existing backhead (easier said than done) and scratchbuilt a new one. I modified the safety valve lowered the top and reshaped the s/valve shoulders. Made new chimney. New reversing lever made of steel so the bare metal bits look more convincing. There are still details to be done, such as a firemans seat, nearly forgot that, fall plate etc. Oh yes I made new washout plugs for the boiler, because the Mainline ones were just dimples. I've got to make and the vac tank under the tender, and fit the brake gear. etc etc... Everything takes me forever, so it will be a little while before it is finished.

RobMG Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have a Dapol mogul too , which presumably state of the art. I think this model should compare well. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
