Finished!
After various attempts she is finally done.
The biggest problem was getting clearance for wheels. crossheads, conrods, pistons behind those front steps.
I was determined, i have only ever seen two B4's running at exhibitions and neither of them had the front steps fitted.
Have also discovered that from May 1935, Southern goods engines, although black had green lining, mmm, think about that one. this was omitted from this date on B4's and G6's (courtesy Bradley, Adams classes page 7)

Fitted with Romford wheels, the balance weights are made from 10 thou Plasticard and a High Level 120-1 gearbox mated to a 1420 Mashima motor. She runs at a very realistic slow speed.
Just the windows to fit and trim the rear crank pins.
What next, thinking about a G6.
I am looking forward to next weekend where hopefully will be able to pick one up.
It's going to be an expensive day out.
where will i be, well

Haha. I didn't say I liked it. Unfortunately I can remember it, I was 9 years old, didn't seem that it was that long ago.
