Lovely :) . Will you use that prototypically now as the contractor's loco during construction of your railway?

Now there is a thought. A legitimate reason for it's existence in my modelling world.

Much as I have enjoyed it as an exercise in scratch building, before your post I was thinking that it doesn't remotely fit with my modelling interests but maybe it does at a stretch :idea:

I have got to get out of Wakefield and down towards Donny sorted first :roll: - I think I may save the London extension for my last scratch build in the very distant future (I hope :D )

Lovely Loco .

Perhaps its the photo? Why are the Vacumn Pipes so enourmous compared to the actual Loco? This is said as I dont know the prototype.

Hi Mick,
I know what you mean they are big in reality but they were that size on the photos of the prototype that I used to verify the details.

While off last Friday I managed to get a marathon session in on the A3 by drilling 71, 0.3mm holes in the boiler top for Scale Hardware rivets. Now I am a rivet counter!! :D

They still need clipping off and gluing but having spent all afternoon and while 11.30 on Friday night drilling them I needed a break.

Well further progress has been made including removing all those patiently applied rivets - after some advise and further research I couldn't find any evidence to support them being there. I haven't filled the holes just yet in case a photo to the contrary turns up.

Meanwhile I have done further work on the boiler detailing although I wish I had fitted the hand rails to the sides of the boiler before the smoke box door as I will now need to lower the handrail on the door to line up with the ones on the smoke box as they curl around.

I have also done a little more to the tender having painted the chassis and given the body a first coat of Railmatch Doncaster green. I painted the tender wheels too and had a go at lining them - I suspect that they never got lined in reality but I wanted to practice and I can always paint over it.

You must thave been quite downhearted regarding those boiler-top rivets Rob. Not a Samaritans job I hope :| .

Rob

Sorry to spoil all your hard work but not only were the tender wheels unlined, they were actually black and not green!

Hmm. I did the same with a 4mm D21.

Pass the black paint. And the tablets... :mrgreen:

Hate to spoil your day further, but as for photgraphic evidence of rivets on top of the boiler........check this photo.
