G'Day Folks Time for another small update, this time I've been filling in under the smokebox and alongside the smokebox, amazing how filling in this area makes a difference to a model. a brass dome has been filed to an approximate look of a C1 dome and the chimney has been borrowed from a B12 until I can get something better. manna

G'Day Folks Had a week away in the caravan, so no modeling, but it doesn't stop me 'thinking' about how to go about building my loco's, I did a bit of fishing to, always work out a few problems whilst waiting for the fish to bite, only caught one fish, (not paying attention) but it was a 2ft long Carp ! And there is always plenty to do, when we get back, always a list of jobs, we'd parked under some trees, possums play in tree's ? and they drop things, so the roof of the vans was covered in Possum poo Etc. but that's all cleaned up, so back to the workbench. The C1 has taken a bit of a back seat for a while, out it came, new splashers were built and the rear carrying axle has been fitted and the outside axle boxes, still a lot to do, but progress is progress. manna
