Decisions, decisions. When building a model locomotive with a full set of waggly bits, when do you reach the point of no return ? How many bits can you stick on the chassis before trapping wheels and impeding the painting process ?
I think this point has been reached on the dock tank. The slide bars are in position, the reversing link supports have been made up and everything is on the face of the cylinders. The next move is to put the wheels back in and start making up the valve gear.
So the metalwork has been thoroughly cleaned with Shinny Sinks and then etch primed. Since the model is to be ex-works a coat of Humbrol Matt black will be brushed on. Then a whole lot of lamination awaits...
