Looking great now. The wheels and brakes are really well located. Most builds have them too far away from the wheels. Great modulation on the paint job as well.
Thanks Tim, This is more luck than judgement. The points for glue on the brake blocks are really quite small, so I made the decision to seep some TET between the brake and the wheel, to a) keep them aligned, and b) offer a larger glued area. Whilst doing this, figured the brakes would likely be ‘on‘ whilst in the station anyway.Looking great now. The wheels and brakes are really well located.

Thanks Jim. Can't believe I didn't see your cross section until This morning, now that is impressive!Hi Jack
That just gets more and more impressive. Very striking model. I'm sure you'll sort the wheel painting - just extra work.

Quite a stark difference between the engine and the tender. Not sure what I feel about that yet.
