That's looking pretty good so far Scott.
If ever I can scratch up enough money, I'd like to get one of these things. what's the kit quality like? I've got a few trumpeter kits and they are a mixed bunch. Some are excellent - others need a lot of work. I'd be disappointed if I spent a lot of money on a kit like this if there's huge amounts of clean-up work needed to get it built.

Looking excellent so far scott mate,loving the little drivers instruction sheets in the cab also the little things that make all the difference like the soot marks beneath the firebox hatch (i dont know if thats the right name but you get the idea!!) keep it up mate , cheers tony
Will be following this as I have the Hobbyboss 1/72 scale one. Nice detail with paper and soot. How about a little frying pan somewhere for the bratwurst.

Hi Scott
Looks great so far. I have the same kit so will be following this build closely. Good luck with the loco.
All the best

Remember boys, flies spread disease... so keep yours closed!
Nice work on the red hand wheels and the seats, great wear and weathering.

I can't fault the weathering in the cab, it looks absolutely spot on and shows just how well you understand the subject.
Great kit and a really interesting subject with huge diorama possibilities.

Looking Good Scott, I might suggest a bit more wear on the outside edges of the hand wheels if I may. Those things got slapped round as much if not more than turned my the handle, and can be quite brightly polished after a time.
Love the coal dust on the floor!
This is going to be inpressive, and I am looking forwards to the progress.
