I fitted the rear beam and footplate unfortunately after gluing on the mesh and painting it I noticed it should have fitted diagonally (If all else fails read the instructions)
A few bits added to the engine more to follow, and a few more parts for the tender
More parts added
Looks fantastic

Added the tie bars suspension and chimney base and lightly primed the tender (Its going to need a lot of filler)

What do you plan to do about the screw?
last few bits and coal added just need to sort out a base and crew
I purchased 2 figures for the model but am in two minds whether to bother with them they are bit to big I think and a bit primitive looking
