Laying out the basic shape.
Adding the coal area and the footplate facing.
Although the sides are quite plain, as with most tenders, there is some nice detailing around the tender like the grab rails and lots of rivet'y goodness on the frames.
We also wanted to create a more typical coal pile for this tender, all heaped up at the back where it's been loaded.
So with that complete, what does it look like together with the engine?
Coming on nicely. Next job, the footplate!
Please note that with it being the summer these updates will more sporadic than we normally try to do and we will be away for some time as well so if you don't see anything for a while don't panic, everything is still on course :-)
Will it have a number plate on the face of the engine? By the way looks incredible you have done a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteYes all version will be set up appropriately, the British Railways version will have the smokebox door number/shed plates.
DeleteIt looks amazing ofcourse
ReplyDeleteDon't suppose you'll be doing the Self Weighing version of this tender?
ReplyDeleteSadly not as we don't have any decent images/plans for that version
DeleteThis looks amazing. Will it be available on steam?
ReplyDeleteNo, this will be available from Steam Sounds Supreme
