Impressive work on the lining, and I really like the way it looks with the white- I'd be inclined to leave it as that, adding red might make it look too fussy.

Brilliant video Andy, and a brilliant looking railway as well. You have made a wonderful job of customising the loco. I bet you are excited about arrival of the new boiler.

Looks fine from where I'm looking at it !

I can't decided whether to start converting it now, or wait until i have most of the bits.

Certainly waiting would mean i can still play with it,
but starting now would stop me wearing it in even more

You're right there - it gives her a definate Kerr, Stuart look. Rather brings this engine to mind: http://andysleigh.fotopic.net/p53583794.html

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the finished product!
