Warbonnet Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Only a little bit of additional work done this week. Front boxes added, body attached to plate although it still needs adjustment (and lots of cleaning up!) Boiler still to be attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Super job franno. Are you going to add the rivets etc to the smokebox wrapper or are they already done? I do like a few rivets of an evening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Cheers lads, have had invaluable help along the way and really happy with how it's turning out so far. Super job franno. Are you going to add the rivets etc to the smokebox wrapper or are they already done? I do like a few rivets of an evening... Rivets is the next step Richie! Just need to figure out how many and their pattern! Should have them done in the next progress report hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Delightful progress Fran, looking forward to the next stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Progress continues on the O Gauge J26. Started to run out of talent a bit especially around the splashers but thankfully the men in the MRSI were able to show me the way! Some 'riveting' rivet detail... There was no boiler bands in the kit so I'm going to have to get my thinking cap on about that one. Work on the detailing will come next as well as the running gear but first a lot of cleaning up is required as you can see. Beading needs to be completed and tided up too.

BosKonay Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Fair play Fran. She's already a classy looking lady! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looking good Fran! have you any idea as to what type of motor you plan to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looking good Fran! have you any idea as to what type of motor you plan to use? Not yet man, chassis needs some work first. Need to do my research. Will be using slaters wheels anyway, need to get them ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 That's looking exceptionally good Fran. No matter what rtr you have bought or will buy, they won't give you the same feeling as a kit built model. Especially a loco. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
