A O4/8 started following Graeme's excellent design. Just needs final clean up, next step priming then adding numerous rivets to Boiler and Cab areas.On seeing the photos I have now removed a bit more from the front of the Boiler saddle and tweaked the handrail.

Looking really good Mick. Don't know what I'd do without Archers rivets now; but I don't think I'd have the patience for your very careful application on your O4.

Very nice Mick, you would have thought welding would have been a lot quicker that riveting loco's together, and so much easier for us to !!! :lol:

They make the job much easier.

I have learnt dont touch once postioned and prime over asap after drying as very poor adhesion ( on primer base) !!

The horseboxes look excellent.

Should the ends be black though? Like non-vestibule stock after 1925.

Were the ends of horseboxes painted 'teak' before 1925?

My mistake, when I looked back through the threads, I remembered the posts.

There is an excellent clear picture of an ex-GNR CCT in Modellers' Backtrack Vol.1 No. 4.

Did you make the handwheel, Mick? Someone does an etched one, but I can't remember who now.

Good Morning,

You can purchase the etched handwheel from Alan Gibson, together with WM castings for the scoop operating mechanism and associated tank filler (O4s from Bachmann RODs).
