The wheels have arrived for my next project which has spurred me on to get this Jinty finished before I plough into the next job.

So having finished most of the etched detailing I've given it a clean before starting on adding all the whitemetal castings. So this is the current progress, the chimney casting was carefully drilled out before fitting so there is a decent sized hole down into the smokebox, sanding pipes have been fitted to one side and a few of the other castings have been added.

So there are the final few details to add - handrail to the smokebox door, vac pipes, safety valves and whistle etc.
