Thanks for the support boys....
A special thanks to Tim for answering my call for help. In just one post from him I now know more about locos than I ever did in the last.......... years! Fill in the gap as you wish!
Cheers Tim, you're a star. Feel free to chip in about the workings of the loco any time you wish.

Wait until you have to paint all the pipework, then the fun begins....
Doesn't that make it even harder? Painting lozenges over the pipes?Luckily for me Mark, it'll all be painted in 'Lozenge' camouflage.
Cheers.

Go for it Ron, got the big one sitting in the shed ready for building, sure it keeps wheezing whenever I go in there.I have to diverse with my model making. To construct the same theme/type would drive me insanitary!...
I realise there will be little interest in the build, but here's something a bit away from the norm. I'm going to try and paint the model in the German WW2 early 'Digital' camouflage.

Thanks chaps. Much appreciated.
453. The two for one locomotive is just over 18" long. I flogged it on eBay to a bloke who had built a pristine one and wanted a filthy one to go with it!
Dave. Less the tender, the loco this thread is about is 6 1/2" long. Small maybe, but a fair amount of detail is moulded on. PJ should have no problems with it. All a good fit and very little cleaning up to do. He just needs to get the wheels set up right. They have no location pins, just simply push on to the axles so have to be swivelled to the correct position. The instruction are fine and easy to understand.
Based on the one I'm making, I would think any similar Revell loco would fit the bill for him.
I well remember that awful Mig25 - What a dog that was!
I believe ROCO has a whole line of period rolling stock to go w/your loco. Stand by for pain as they're not cheap, but used to be more reasonable than others. PaulE
Thanks Ron. PJ's obviously not coming round at the moment. I'll keep my eyes open on ebay and see what's about.
