Exmoor - Paintshop Progress (Part 2)

Having set the loco aside for a few days I re-started work by tidying up a few areas that the photographs had shown up. Over the following evenings I then fitted the whistle and safety valves into place on the dome, secured the crew in the cab and fitted the cab roof , added coal to the bunkers and fitted MicroTrains couplers.

 As if it were on a test run at it's builders, these photos were captured in natural light on 'The Headshunt'.





The project has now reached it's natural break point as it is now complete with all parts added that can be at this stage... To complete the loco will need it's name and worksplates, presently on order from Narrow Planet, plus a little light, appropriate weathering and maybe one or two extra details. 

For now it is resident in my display cabinet.

    Thanks James! As is says in the text really, some light, appropriate weathering. I'm thinking smokebox, cylinders etc, maybe some muck thrown up at the buffer beams etc.
