Having retired from full-size steam I am getting back into model stuff; we have built a G scale railway in my semi redundant work shop.
Having purchased a beat up Stainz I have modified it a little bit. Cut 5/16" off the back, lowered the footplate, three D printed smoke box, fire box, bunkers, cab back sheet and numerous smaller items combined with a turned brass boiler and chimney.
The photos show how bad my painting is but the overall result is quite pleasing and runs well.
Got the bug now and have bought a non-runner LGB class 99 as a chassis donor.

Re: Stainz bashing
Here I just thought "Barclay", but you're right.
Also nice to see painted valve gear for a change. (Nothing wrong with unpainted of course)
