The full range of tender lettering / emblems has now been finished, so the panel / guide lines from the tender have been removed.
All configurations with regards to chimneys, valances and tenders has now been completed too.

EDIT: Top of boiler casing altered

I figured she'd be a popular choice, 60007 as preserved (minus mainline warning stickers)

There sure is BB :)

I've finally got round to rebuilding the brake rodding and suspension etc under the drivers.
Also added the cylinder cock pipes. 'Cap' added over the water filler and the front coupling has been recessed for 2512 in 'as built' condition:

Those three are so odd looking from the side. I am happy the LNER stuck with the parabolic curve on the sides.

Nice work.

There's only one livery left to do now, and it's quite an odd one too. BR experimental purple.

Would it be possible to have 60009 in BR Green and in Coronation livery as built?

Cheers

Re drawn version of the A4 where the silvery-grey lines have been replaced with darker or lighter versions of the surrounding colours. Please comment on wether or not you think this approach is better than previous.
