The Barclay model locomotive now has a front to its bonnet - or at least it will do once the laminated version I made up from the etches has been turned into a whitemetal casting.
This is all part of the process of doing the test build and comes under the title "Pattern making". The part I've assembled will have a mould taken from it and then be reproduced in all the future kits. A similar process occurred with the radiator that fits on the front of this and I have the casting to hand. Pity I didn't do both of them at the same time !
