once i had ordered the body i picked up some parts from 247 Developments

100_6792 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

the parts are
Reversing lever i got 2 of these one in white metal & one in brass
M126 brass lever
RE2 white metal
A Ramsbottom saftey valve SV5
A Whistle M14
& a brake standard BS1

The 1st job is to give the body a wash then a light coat of gray primmer to see what needs doing

Had a little chuckle to see the bag containing 'GWR Reversing Screw' actually has a lever in it! (What the Yanks call a 'Johnson Bar')

Seems to be a promising project, Brian. Another 3D printed loco with whitemetal and brass detail parts!

Heres some pics showing the body with a coat of primmer on the floor looks fluffy but thats just over spray which i have cleaned up before giving the body a coat of Filler primmer

By the way i will have this with me at NGN this week end as wellas one of the railcars

[tedp]

You may be able to use sheet lead strips along the inside faces of the frames under the footplate. I did so with the saddle tank - I don't know what you did with the earlier models.

If I would be building this I'd think of fitting a Seuthe smoke unit in that boiler. There is a good space for it, and a hollow chimney. But since I'm not building it, forget it, I'm a gimmick man!   ;)

This weekend i will be having a look around Narrow Gauge North & will have this  & othe 009 items with me if anyone wants a look


Well got some of the detail done
1st i added a wood floor ( wills wood sheet)

the body has now had a got of grey primer before it gets its top coat of black & once thats dry i will be adding planking around the boiler

[Brian Mosby]

now in primmer

The cladding really transforms it. Red lining on the tank and the cab sheets would look nice!

[Brian Mosby]

thats it for today Now will i get time to add lining before NGN

[Brian Mosby]

need to find/make/add a fire door

[tedp]

That looks very good, Brian - a little detail transforms a simple 3D model, doesn't it?

Good luck lining it - and good luck at NGN!

[Brian Mosby]

Coal now loaded & the loco has been asked to have a Run at NGN will try & get som film of it
