That's looking rather good chaps!... will you be bringing it the the Great Electric Train Show at Milton Keynes? Cheers Brian

Hi Guys, Sorry for the lack of postings recently.. I've been having major problems with my ISP.. I have all the Deltic bits drawn and ready to go.. question is, what do you want other than steps and headcodes etc?.. I could produce everything as per the 4mm version, but is there a demand?.. just let me know what else you want and I'll see what I can do.. Cheers! Brian (Extreme Etchings/Shawplan)

Looking good Jon!.. good guess about the air supply pipe but not quite right.. pedantic, I know but it actually exits from the nose through the top plate of the buffer beam not through the beam itself.. all the airbrake pipework runs vertically down (through the nose floor) the rest from underneath it (Vac, Steam and ETH(S)).. not that it makes the slightest difference in 4mm of course!.. it's well hidden under the nose and by the time its painted you can't tell where its attached! Keep up the good work!.. it'll almost be a shame to paint it

Actually, this is probably a better shot to judge from ..

Hi Brian, I have been following this thread with interest over the past couple of days.. ..I have to say the 'Duke' is looking rather nice! (plates are on there way BTW ) One thing that doesn't quite look right though is the position of the nose side grille?.. it seems too low on the bodyside which doesn't stand out too much on a Blue loco but it will be highlighted when you try to do the light green band on a Green one? .. here's a pic from the GC this last weekend of No 9 with tape measure (20.5") might be worth checking out! I can definately see me having one though .. might just have to enlarge the 4mm detailing bits me thinks! B) All the best Brian
