Stunning!
Just beautiful that. The Klondikes not quite as elegant as the C1s but have a certain je ne sais quoi all their own.

So true, I've done one in lined black in 4mm, but I do have a C1 in 4mm to do and having done this one I think I might have a go at fully lined green.

Not sure who's kit it is as I just painted it but I can find out over the weekend, the 4mm ones I have are djh.
I must get round to starting my own thread sometime and see what you guys think of some of my other work.

I've just had a check and the C2 is an ex Modellers World kit now owned by Gladiator Kits for whom I did the paint job.
The loco is not currently available but anyone after one could always inquire and it might get pushed up the que.

Re: Rob P's 7mm Loco Workbench - Always something going on..
Well just over 12months on, I have returned to this build.
Last night I cleaned up the castings for the slide bars/cross heads and finished soldering the wrappers to the cylinders - having just had a re-read of Tony's build I should have soldered the castings in before putting the wrapper around. Anyway I managed to get the castings on the fronts of the cylinders without too much trouble and I plan to assemble the motion brackets and test fit before finally soldering the slide bars to the cylinders.
Here are a few shots of where I got to...

Unless my old eyes are playing tricks on me, this one looks distinctly LMS!

You just pipped me to it
The keen reader will pop back to see it's beginnings on an earlier page - that's how I figured out what it was anyway

So I was right - an 8F! Should stand up well to Doncaster's traditions although I think it was sad that the last Donny 8F had to give up it's bits and pieces to so many new build projects.

Re: Rob P's 7mm Loco Workbench - Always something going on..
I didn't get any modelling done last week but since then I have made some steady progress on the 06
I have done a bit more at the chassis
Next up was the front bogie.
And lastly just before going on holiday I ordered a set of coupling rods etc from Premier which were waiting for me when I got back. I also took the time to make up some of the rods that came with the kit.
