I got this DJH? Q7 from an auction and it originally had a tender drive, I have now built a new PDK tender for it and work progresses:
Re: Rustys workbench - builds and paints
Thank you for posting.
I had to do quite a lot of work to my DJH Q7 and my A8 (converted from a DJH H2).
I haven't taken any recent pictures (and no sunshine today!)
If you want to see what I did, (and I am sure you are a better modeller than I am!)
Pages 1 to 3 of my thread are relevant: .....here.....
A bit later I did replace the A8 cab roof with a thinner version in brass - which helps with the height issue.
If you can work out how to fit the A8 with brakes I would be very interested to see how you do it!

Good morning (wet in Surrey)
Wizard models sell mainly trains etched of various brake gear.
It will be a tight squeeze getting the shoes between the wheels. The A8 had a 6'6+6'6 wheelbase which doesn't leave a lot of room.

Having fun with a pair of NIU models U19 snowploughs, I think they look quite good, I have a pair of U20's to do at some time as well:
