Dean Goods part 5 Ready for paint!
I've spent the last week or so adding all the detail components, this always takes longer than I expect, but I do find very satisfying. I used a photograph contained in Locomotives Illustrated of No 2467 as running circa 1905 as a reference. Socket type lamp irons from Laurie Griffin's range were fited and handrails were bent up from stainless steel wire. The dome, safety valve cover and chimney top were polished using abraisive wheels and cotton mops. (they are just balanced in position for the pictures at this stage!) I wasn't happy with the appearance of the tender rails, so I soldered some half round wire to them which I think has improved their appearance considerably. The kit provides some very nice brass fittings for the back head and these were polished prior to assembly.
