there are (I think) 2 things different to yours, can you spot them?
Good job they are not identical or one of us would have to have a white roof to tell them apart

Three!

I spy two, possibly three, depends whether you count gauge?

MoelygestLR · Post by **MoelygestLR** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 6:18 pm

The gauge doesn't count cos they are both regaugeable!

is one that red bar coming from the cab down towards the frames on the LH side is painted red and mine is brass, secondly the tank filler is painted black and I cant seem to spot the third. they are only subtle differences though.

that's it! the red reversing lever link rod, the black tank filler and I imagine the third thing is the nameplates (which are very thin!) new works plates not here yet!

Brilliant, more supurb stuff from Tony. Those nameplates do look so much better then the Roundhouse ones

I made this headboard tonight using a jar lid

That looks awesome! What a good idea too!

thanks, I wanted to have a go at that headboard (I think the original is still at Boston Lodge) after seeing it in some of the books. The lid is thin steel and I cut it with kitchen scissors and folded up a small bracket, soldered it on and painted it, total cost not a lot

Cool, Mr Bond made me a laser cut one which I'll make fit my simplex if I ever get it done.

Really nice, it's things like that that really make it stand out.

If you wanted a LASER cut one like Will's I could easily do one and get it sent out as I already have the design! It could be better than wills as since then I have learnt how to do it in two layers like name plates

If you are offering Zach I would love one

Will, please could you put up a pic of your head board?

Merddin Emrys · Post by **Merddin Emrys** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 9:37 pm

Here's the original, which as far as I can tell is hand painted?

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 9:44 pm

Nope, it's cast or fabricated, raised letters and border.
