I've been following the build myself and it is amazing seeing the loco come together. It's a great testament to Georges skills and Des has produced another fabulous kit, huge respect to both of the lads. I can't wait to see the finished item.

Neither can I. The boy done me proud!

Des any kit built model (especially a steam locomotive) needs to be designed with the build process of the model in mind. It's hard sometimes to picture a finished model when looking at flat etches before you ever start bending or rolling. The break van is another great example. I've said it before and I'll say it again Des, you have took the hobby forward in so many ways since you took ownership of SSM. They are great kit's according to the lads and are a pleasure to build.

Well done George and Des, if Georges other models are anything to go by it ll be top drawer. I wish I had the liathroid's to attempt the kit as I would really love a excbsc tank in the fleet.

Riversuir, to use my quote... just go for it. You'd surprise yourself.
