Personally I would say the dumb bufers are perhapes a bit big but otherwise the improvements look great

they ook bigger in the picture, they look better in real life.

im replacing the standard boiler as im sick of melting sightglases and the pistons were uprated but the endcap keeps blowing off

the wheels have become very loose on the axels

Great stuff Andy. when my friend sorted the timing on my Edrig he reckoned it'd be interesting to see what it sounds like with just a blast pipe, problem is I need to get th tube first, oh well, the model show is coming up!

Thats a great pic. It looks really good with the darj headlamp on! I also love all the details youve been adding. Adds a sense of realism!

A great looking photo. I particularly like the bucket.

I must see if there are any available at the Merstham Steam rally this Saturday.

looks truly awesome andy!!! nice one!

MuzTrem · Post by **MuzTrem** » Thu May 15, 2008 9:18 am

Yup, very nice work indeed

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Thu May 15, 2008 4:48 pm

Beautifel! Certainly depicts a work hard feel.

The bucket was my idea, Andy said that he had money to spend at the end of Stoneleigh, I directed him to the 'Chuffed2Bits' stand, I've had mine running with one ever since.

Brilliant Andy!

You should be realy pleased

Chris Cairns · Post by **Chris Cairns** » Thu May 15, 2008 7:25 pm

I thought I'd seen those buckets before, but he has got a bug on his website.

When you go to Metal Products in his drop down list you actually need to click the Metal Products on the left to get Page One of the Metal Products, including the buckets. Otherwise you only view Pages 2 & 3, which is what I've been doing the last time I visited.

Unfortunately he is not on the list of traders at the Merstham Steam Rally this week-end. So I'll probably have to order them online, unless something similar appears at Merstham for a good price.

i went down to halfords yesterday and got some paint and masking tape.

then i put them to use and did this.

(its been sprayed matt black, it was bbq black, which had mucked up the whole thing)

i know its a little rough around the edges, but i dont mind, i shall do something about it some time.
