This is the last post on the making of this engine. Part 11, if you ever see a kit for sale buy it, its a lovely kit to put together. Just under a month it has taken, not that there was any rush, but would be nice to have it at Alexandria Palace at the end of March.
Its surprising how many last minute jobs there are to do. Youv'e painted it, then fit couplings, crew, coal, buffers, wieght, roof and of course body to chassis.
Today, she pulled her first train into Exton Quay.
Chuffed to bits. She is looking all new and shinny, i just have'nt got the heart to weather her yet.
Nice job!

It has turned out well, thank you for the coment.

The kit looks like it went together really well. I have now got hold of a set of etchings for the Gibson G6. Do you still have the instructions as I am trying to work out what goes where.
