gamevender Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Took a break from a couple larger projects. Thought this would be a nice simple build/finish, and it was. Just replaced the molded in hand rails. Cute little thing. As usual, with close up photos, I've noticed a couple things yet to tend to. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Really nice... and very clean! Great to see someone else building Kitmaster classics, as well... best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamevender Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I almost hate to wade into the scale debate as model railroaders are the experts, but I believe it's HO, which means 1/87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Very nicely done. Have built several in my time as well as numerous conversions (Fairlie Pug, anyone?). But you've got me thinking I might try another. 17 hours ago, gamevender said: Just replaced the molded in hand rails. Can I ask where you got the knobs for the replacement handrails please?

Bandsaw Steve Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Lovely! The more steam locomotives on these pages the better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I have a few bits of the Airfix version of this I bought about 40 years ago (or more...). Shame rally. I think that you can still get this as a Dapol kit. Cheers, Alan. Edited December 1, 2019 by Alan R Fat fingers - typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamevender Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Completely Obsessed. The "knobs" are HO gauge model railroad detail parts called "eyelets" I believe. Got them from Tichy Trains. https://www.tichytraingroup.com/ They have all sorts of very useful bits and bobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try for someone a little more local! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Can't believe that's OO/HO scale! I thought I was looking at something much larger. That surely testifies to some excellent building and finishing skills. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
