The big bits of this loco were completed some time ago. Detailing took several hour though. There are a lot of handrails (which look wonkier in the photo than they really are) to fit including the incredible one around the top of the bonnets.
This one needed a bit more work than normal. I didn't have an etched part for this except for on on a completely new body etch sheet. It seemed a shame to break into this just for one strip so I made my own from sheet nickel silver. My skrawker quickly and neatly cut the part which is just under 2mm wide. That's possibly a touch too fat still but it looks OK and is strong enough to resist handling.
