Always good to see progress, best of all when it's hand-made. Much more interesting than something ready-made, straight out of the box.

Is the Pacific bogie still free-standing? Looks a long way forward...

Nice cab edging there: did you bend it or cut a curve?

Graeme, the front bogie is just resting there at the moment, I've got to make a bracket for it, lot more fun making loco's for yourself, but I have to admit, I've just managed to pick up a brand new Hornby W1 Grey 10000 body, I'll build another chassis for it, maybe the SEF chassis !!

Chas, The beading was made up from quite a few bits, glued at one end the slowly bent to shape, good job the glue softens the plastic rod which is a big help.

Well the tender saga continues, lol. The main body is good, the front plate was fudged, close but no close enough, (see pics below) which will be modified, being plastic it isn't to difficult, I'd would've hated to have built it in brass and been wrong. Also I have also built in the wrong wheelbase, 6'6"x6'6" instead of 7'x6', ah well, I now have a nice tender for a J3 or............. you can't have to many GN tenders.

Another day another tender

.The original tender has been modified, didn't need a lot to make into a Stirling tender for a J3. a new Ivatt tender, with the correct wheelbase.

The J3 is slowly creeping forward, with another tender to build.

In between all that, a short wheelbase cattle wagon is taking shape, I want to get all these project finished before I hit the road to Queensland again, only a month to go.
