Hi James, looks interesting. If you're modelling it in later superheated and lengthened smokebox form but with a Robinson chimney and extended cab then I guess you will be representing the loco in late pre-grouping state or maybe very early LNER? If so, I'm very intrigued, that dome could be either the original height one or the LNER period one which was cut down slightly? If it's the latter, do you have a source where these may be procured please, if at all..?!
I have an original height one but I'm hesitant to reduce it by taking a horizontal slice out as the original height dome is also useful for other locos like the Kitson Class B (LNER J60) . I could do with assessing how to replicate it as a cast really.
