MIDLAND 3130 (9)
Having been shamed into action by George T, and his rendition of the Belpaire boilered version of the 2F.
Here is the latest update on my 3130. As you can see she is now wearing a black coat. I have also started detailing the cab. Now just waiting for the backhead to be finished. I have also applied the transfers, I have based these on a photo of the prototype, which while having cream LMS on the tender has her BR number on the cab sheets, in ex LMS numerals. I still have some detail painting to do, including adding the boiler bands, and to assemble the buffer heads etc. I am hoping that in a day or so it will be varnished.
The chassis has been running nicely on the test bench, although the pickups still need to be fitted. I have not figured out what to do with these as yet. I did have a lot of trouble with a wobbly wheel. But after the forth time of taking it off I found I was trapping a spacing washer and the wheel was not sitting against the shoulder on the axle.
Here is an overload of the nearly finished 3130 as number 58240
