Brass in Bonnet


Bonneted 14

The solution to over-hard metal is to use something softer and that’s what’s happened. A set of brass bonnets have been supplied – pre-bent to help me out even more. I quickly attached them to the loco and added the boxes on the side making sure that they didn’t stick over the side.

One feature of the kit is a whole host of overlays. I think I’ll be sticking these on with glue as it’s easier and quicker that solder. Once painted no-one will know. There is a bit more soldering to do, cab steps and handrails once I’ve worked out how the later work.
