    A few minor corrections made to D6703 tonight (prior to bufferbeam detailing); painting the buffers silver and adding a red stripe to the axleboxes, as per the prototype:

    Grease marks will be added once the silver paint has dried but already it's made a difference to the "face" of the model, for the better I feel. Otherwise it's a gorgeous model and I can't fault it! Having worked for a few years on 03 in pres, its nice to have a model of the old girl!

    Dont forget the  horn housings, needs to be green as well.

    Here's some I took the other week. Side on view with camera staying on the tripod and locos carefully lined up to marks on the track to ensure no differences in perspective. Also a top-down view.

    Balance weights on the driving wheels look a lot better on the A/S one

    or did the differ on the prototype.

    + the area above the front pony wheel, looks better on the A/S one
