Jim's a lucky boy! Ah that would be me! :D :D

I will never achieve that standard of finish Mick - awesome as always.

Huge thanks to Graeme too for sharing his great body! (Perhaps that could be worded better)! :oops:

Looking good Mick. Glad to see you have gone to the trouble of moving the handrail knobs to the correct place on the boiler barrel.

Cheers....Morgan

Yes the Scotsman NRM model isn't best version of the boiler to use , rear boiler bands removed and dome moved forward as well. It was a body with the front buffer beam area missing already , so a very easy choice for GN.

4771 ready for lining. The marks on the V2 body are sunlight shining on the very gloss paint.

Both look very good Mick. With the V2, what buffers are you intending to use? I am looking at a set of whitemetal buffers from Dave Frank's range for my V2s currently.
