    Newton Heath Works, the Fletcher Jennings by the Foreman's office. The loco is a 7mm scale 3D print by EDM Models and runs on a Dapol B4 chassis.

    I have a Dapol 8750 with which I am very satisfied. Running is excellent on DC. I have changed the (rather short) whistle & shield with one from Warren Shephard, and added spare lamp irons on the running plate. If the smoke box plate is not required I would think it easy enough to remove and fill the resulting hole in the smoke box door. There are plenty of photos of panniers in GW livery with a smoke box door plate ( early BR), just depends on your chosen period. The Minerva 8750 looks very nice but has incorrect tank fillers.

    There was no CWR on the S&D. I was a fireman at Templecombe until the line closed in 1966 so regularly worked the whole of the route.

    Sorry regarding injectors, must re check before commenting! Lovely model anyway!
  9. Quintus
    Excellent modelling. I built a 7mm model some years ago, and from memory you may find the type of injectors you have fitted were only fitted to the first 10 of the class. I seem to remember the drawing I was using had these early injectors.

    Don't hold your breath on this one!!

    The later locos with the Collett cabs also had a different tank securing strap across the boiler. These were an inverted tee section.

    Looks excellent. The tank fillers and securing straps seem to belong to the locos with the earlier cabs

    The S&D Bulldogs had gravity sanding, hence the operating rod. (the Midland ones had steam sanders) They also had the additional front sandbox with the fillers protruding under the valence. Problem is that the centre sandbox was t'other way round on the S&D engines! Most of the S&D engines retained the wood sandwich front buffer plank, which had bolts rather than rivets. 43194 seems to have retained the full beading on the cabside.
