To get the rivet heads and bolt heads to show/print to size, I've had to model them longer than dimension, this is slightly counter intuitive because normally, resin prints display light bleed, and over-sizing on peripheral edges, but with very small sections, this is countered by the shrinkage of the resin on curing. Of course we're talking about bolt heads around 0.4mm across the flats, they are small!
The westinghouse pump is deliberately modelled in a separate CAD body, so it can be turned on or off. The same will go for the limited run of early NER and later LNER C/C1 class and J21's that I'm considering a run of, in respect of their boiler, smokebox, and valve arrangements.
The same as the loco, the intention is to add the third coal rail in as an option as well.
Those little black marks on the prints are just deposits from the cleaning station, as the last resin it washed was Elegoo water washable black, which leaves little specks, needed a flush out, and did sop after this print finished.
Like the rest of the loco, the cab underwent LOADS of changes, but its too many for me to undertake economically, and once a crew is in there, the detail isn't visible anyway!
Though I don't want to use this thread as a plug, these shells are now available for sale, please get in touch if you would like to order one.
Thanks, Paul.
