I hope Slaters reintroduce the GWR range sooner rather than later!! They are a great addition to the GW modellers stable.
Well done Mikkel. I would like to see it in the pre 1908 livery.

Oh to be able to do that fantastic trip. Thank you Mikkel for sharing and Ihope your mum enjoyed it also.
It brought back memories of my own trip to Penzance in 2017. Sadly it was by bus!!!
A well constucted post also.

It is as good as I thought it would be. Stunning work as always. I know the R-T-R people do a great job these days but the character you have achieved has brought the loco to life. Happy New Year.

While all of your posts are brilliant I think this is the best yet. The figures ,siphon,broken glass all accuratly depicted not to mention the roof held on by magnets. Then there's the Barnum... Thank you for posting .

It is great to see this as one post. Your work is always inspiring and informative. I also have started this conversion on a 27xx open cab in my case. With my small exhibition layout al but finished I am back to coaches and locos. Miss Prisms comments on another site jolted my aging brain into gear re the Hornby bunker size and just in time also as I was about to go with the Hornby one!! So far I have converted the Bachmann mech to EM and fabricated a pair of replacement splashers . Next is the bunker. Your normally prodigious pace seemed to slow in recent months and I wondered if you were OK but I need not have worried ,your previous post showed what you had been up to. Keep it up. Doug.

You can't keep a good modeller down as they should say. I will await the results Mikkel.

I am biased but to me the Dean Goods and the new traverser look great ,superb work.I now have the vallejo colours you suggested on an earlier entry and I agree it flows very well. I won't have as much trouble painting my coach panels in future. Is there another kit or R-T-R bash in the wings?

Thanks again for the insight into how you achieved the shade of paint you needed. It is the same as in my work as a book and paper conservator.At least we have a clue from the remaining work of art. It is difficult to judge from printed material due to the variations in that medium. I have only recently found a supplier of Vallejo so here goes.I also have to agree with the other posts. Your work is an inspiration. Roll on some thing from Armstrong etc.

It is good to see the finished loco as I followed the progress since the start. I have also build one from this era using a Mainline body and a Comet chassis in EM. I used a piece of electrical conduit to replace the belpaire firebox and taking your lead purchased brass boiler fittings from the UK.Thank you for the paint no.s as we can't buy precision paints in Western Australia due to postal concerns and I have used your blog to gain the Vallejo numbers that you use.One day I may be brave enough to post a photo but after viewing yours there seems no need.
