After quite a lengthy delay, the 1361 has been finished, painted and weathered this weekend. It was great to get the airbrush out, though my set up was a little rudimentary. I just need a name plate, crew and couplings. Oh and balance weights and coal...

But I'm quite happy how this has turned out. There are naff all clearances between the wheel rims and underside of footplate (that's why the Kernow one had splashers) so Ive lifted the body up slightly.

All runs well and the CSB's work a treat.

I took the liberty of taking a few shots on Stonehouse St James.

Also visible are a variety of wagons that made it through the weathering shop this afternoon.
