The result was worth the effort though.
I like the satin finish. Lining and good coat of varnish always seems to give a richer appearance to a coloured loco.

ps. The 'six phases of a project' came out of the IT world, but the early stages apply equally to modelling. If you want a truly Sisyphean project, build a Garratt.........

Re: What is it? An F&B 0-4-2
Thanks Graeme.
Funnily enough, before I started on the F&B loco, I did start to look at a Garratt, even collected a few drawings, but in the end decided that even the smallest type would be way too big to get round my tighter curves ( or any of them!) and I'm not masochistic enough to start something that major knowing that even if it got finished, I would never be able to run it.

Well this has turned out to be a thing of extraordinary beauty. Such crisp high resolution printwork realising all the detail in your design, and everything elevated by that absolutely beautiful finish. Just wonderful.

I think it must be the best 3D printed loco I've ever seen.

Thanks again to everyone for all the nice comments, I do appreciate them.
Rik, I'm not sure I'd go that far though!
I'm now soldiering on with the coaches to go with it. I did post about the Brake 3rd some months ago and currently have the 1st/2nd Composite underway, but I'll do a separate thread for that. However, just as a teaser, here are Lord & Lady Muck ready for their 1st Class compartment, (after some fettling and painting of course).
