That is all coming along really well.

I especially like the pre-painted finish on this particular one.

Hope it continues to go well for you.
Happy Modelling

Pack 5
Stage 34
The boiler 2
The first job on this is to put the handrail brackets on the top boiler half.you really need the handrails for this that come in pack 6. As I needed to clean paint from holes to get them to slide on. And it is far easier to line them up with handrail in place, as slightest bit out is going to give you trouble fitting them later. This also sees you put the handrail brackets in the front half of boiler to.I lost count how many times I dropped the nut trying to get it on in front.Cursing then you remove the joint ring from front half to glue the superheater header into this ring. The grey plastic part.then it fix to half's of boiler together, attach it to front half. And fit the water supply pipe. BigGrin

Pack 5
Stage 37
The firebox 2
Much the same as the previous stage.just couple more parts added.the ATS system, whatever that is doh. And place the generator on top. All fitting together very well. And just couple shots of how looks now.as this concludes pack 5. The yellow tape is to hold the white walkway parts to the boiler.as these are rather fragile at the moment and could easily be broken off. Dave finally snapped the water pipe off the front. An it can stay off till the end now as it bin a pain there anyway.cheers mick.

Looking good Mick ThumpUp

I believe an ATS is an automatic train stop, it is supposed to stop a train in certain circumstances
