WOW - That is a stunning model, really beautiful. And like everyone else, I can't comprehend how you ONLY took 6 months making it, shurely there's 18 months work in it?

I think you need to change your forum name to "express coach"!

Is there/will there be any photos of the build process?

I thought the CAD had the look of Solidworks :dremel:

Did you work from an old set of drawings/ engravings ? ,,,,,,,,,,,,, looks like you must have in a good few hours at the computer to model the loco :smart:WWW

Rob, I used a 7mm drawing and scaled it up to 16mm. I start with the chassis, then boiler and finally the body. It took longer to draw it than it did to make it. But it's worth the effort.

A lead weight in the smokebox might help with the traction/balance.

Funny you should say that Kvom, The smokebox has a huge brass weight on the inside, the smokebox dart holds the door on and the big brass weight. It still wanted to stick its nose in the air :)

Cheers all

Thanks adev, It used to take me over 18 months to do this kind of stuff, but I guess the more I do the more I gain experience and more importantly confidence (i'm my own worse critic).

Yeah, I will post some pics of the build process :thumbup:

Cheers
Rob
