I'd be interested to see what that looks like when it arrives.

It seems like a very keenly priced model!

Chassis?

[Brian Mosby]

well the body has arrived the one i whent for is a type 2 to finish the loco you need a Farish old type 08 or J94 chassis
& a set of Baldwin valve gear from RT Models & will also need a bogie which will need scratch building or using a RT Models 4ncp040 & Bemo wheels 5002

The photos show the body as it arrived with out any work

the roof is the worse part but 2 mins burnishing it will get it smooth

I recently obtained one of Chris' "Libby" bodies which (afaik) uses the same printer. Fresh out of the box it was a bit 'lined' but not as bad as with the machine he started off with, and a bit of work with a burnisher (stainless steel one I use on sterling silver) and a coat of primer has made the line pretty much disappear.

Been working on the bogie using a old Duff chassis to make it fit the body untill the working one arrives

I have a Bogie from a Farish LMS 2P 4-4-0 the whhel base is 15mm & scale one should be 14mm & i am happy with this
I have removed the razed part of the bogie as well as shorting the casting & reshaped the link bar to fit the new type chassis

You may have already had this thought (sorry if you have) but it might be worthwhile to do something about the gap between the front of the Farish chassis and the Baldwin's cylinders, as on the real loco this space would be filled with the loco frames (bar frames were used on the WD Baldwins afaik).

I wonder if that's why the smoke box is sitting low, as the frames would extend to the front buffer beam and provide a bit of depth between the underside of the front footplate and the topside of the bogie that currently is not there.

Julien,

What is missing, is the cylinder moulding, which will fill this area. I recall that Brian is using the RT resin ones, with the "working" valve gear, so this is yet to come. You are correct that the cylinders will help set the height of the front.
