Kevin that is absolutely superb and a perfect example of the engineers skills being used in the scale model world. Many thanks for sharing the pictures.

It is interesting that you brush paint the models. Long after the introduction of spray gear for motor car manufacture Rolls Royce continued to brush paint thier car bodies as they believed they produced a better finish.

Also the use of a bow pen is something of a dying art. When I was at school and doing technical drawing we were just getting to grips with the new fangled Rotring pens. Any technical drawing set purchased at that time included a bow pen and certainly a bow pen attachment for the compass. They are definately not the easiest tool to use.

I am sure any construction pictures would be appreciated if you have any. I would love to see the way you have made some of the engine and boiler internals.
