For various reasons motivation to progress this loco declined and so it has advanced agonisingly slowly, almost glacial. Anyway, bit by bit I've now finished the build as shown in the attached pics.
It's taken a long time to produce acceptable turnings for the smokebox door, the chimney and dome. The mushroom vents were also difficult to make and I tried a number of ways to make them. One method was to anneal some vents I turned on my lathe, but I ended up crushing the main section when I tried to form the kink. Eventually I bent some rod to shape and soldered the mushroom heads on afterwards.
The injector and ejector and associated pipework were also a pain to do, and I hope my representation is reasonable.
