A few weeks ago I sent off the Barclay's bonnet front to be turned from a series of metal laminates into a whitemetal casting. This week I got the casting along with a few other bits in a jiffy bag.
The new version was interesting to compare with the one I sent off. The result is very clean and neat. Some shrinkage has occurred but not much - the width is the same but I think we lost a very tiny amount off the height and depth. Not enough to matter and once soldered in place and cleaned up the result looks good.
This allowed the radiator and funny metal thing in front to go on and make the face of the locomotive look finished.
