Built Porter

The etched cab attaches to the Bachmann floor once this has seen the attention of Mr Razersaw. First I had to add a sunscreen and reversing lever that I had forgotten in the last post. Putting the floor back in is fiddly and requires a bit more force than you'd expect.

Lots of other parts need to find their way onto the model. The running boards are the worst as they glue to the bottom of the saddle tank, which isn't all that good a fit. A touch of filler sorted out the gap on one side - it's important to get these level.

Cylinder covers are provided, nice but a bit oversize. They do give that "backwoods" look to the model and impart a bit of character.
