All done. A little tickle from the weathering powders, especially on the outer edges of the buffer beam where photos show rusty patches.
The drive was a fiddle to fit, eventually he found a happy position himself, so I'll live with that.
I'm a little disapointed that photos don't show coal piled up in front of the cab - it would be a nice detail but I assume the harbour was small enough that running back to the shed for fuel wasn't a problem.
OK, I'm not responsible for most of the work on this model, but I'm pleased to take it from a box of bits to a nicely running locomotive which can now join the fleet in my display case. One project ticked off!
I hope the original builder would approve of what I've done anyway.

Really impressed with your finished buffers on this. I looked at some real life photos as you were building the model and your end result looks really good.
Thanks Mike - The weathering has helped the model and blended things together nicely.
