This is a 'kill 2 birds with 1 stone' build! LOL

I needed something to do between the Tornado and Triumph builds (Waiting for paint to dry!) and I am running out of room in the stash cupboard (under the eldests bed! LOL

). So I thought this was an ideal time to build the C57 as I have had the complete kit for a while now. So here is my C57 Express, as I cant see it taking that long to put together as there is no painting or weathering! Time taken so far is about 2 hrs! LOL

Thanks for looking in and your comments everyone, and thank you Tom, it needed building, been sat under the boys bed way too long!! BigGrin

Choo Choo!!! LOL

Starting to resemble a loco now! And you remember at the beginning of the thread when I said easy to build, no painting required? Well I fibbed!! LOL

I was looking at the con rods and thought Hmmmmm, they need polishing. So I did and then thought Hmmmmm, they need some colour, so I did! And then polished the piston rods!! LOL

Yes as I caught it early in the build, 10 mins to change once I get a replacement. BigGrin

The wheels on the train go round and round! LOL

Fixed! Heated the offending wheel in boiling water and straightened with 2 'C' Spanners! Aso found out that Vallejo Air black is a perfect match for the wheels and Tamiya flat black is perfect for the body!! BigGrin
