It has not been a very good week on the model making front, I try not to work at the weekends at the moment, and the wife has had three days holiday this week. I have also spent a lot of time redrawing the first floor plans for our house. So two mornings is not much time when it comes to making big advances. As it is down to detailing now it seems even slower. I suppose a lot of it is my own fault for making something that is not in the box.
Well down to what I have been doing, as you will remember I made up the pull push gear last week. I now have made the new regulator handle, and clean up the backhead casting, I have planed how it will all go together, so this maybe will be done in the next session, Depending on how fed up of lamp irons I become.
I have been detailing the smokebox, and filling excess holes. I thought Victorian engines were quite free from visible adornements. I think I may of been wrong. And of course Drummond had to be different with his lamp irons. The socket is on the iron not the lamp. so each iron seems to take forever to make. Then make sure you do not end up with component parts when soldering it to the loco. I think they look right I just wish I had of ordered some from Mr Griffin before our holiday in the UK Christmas then I could of brought them to Brasil with us. (Note to self, PLAN AHEAD MORE).
Just need to do the bunker ones now.
