With the show out of the way I really need to crack on with this loco. It's one of two to be delivered by Warley and I have it in mind I'd like to have built three by then.
To re-invigorate my interest in the model the packet containing the parts for the tender (tender parts - arf !) was opened and started.
First up the footplate has the buffer beams bent down and then a frame is folded up and attached to give the structure and support for the bodywork. This give the ski-ramp top you can see which will eventually disappear under a coal load.
In 7mm scale those holes would be easy to poke a soldering iron through to make the joints. In HO they are a bit small in places and the iron hasn't shrunk.
