Thirtysecond
Western Thunderer
Well, to Chris Tolhurst and I the Adams Radial tank is second in Victorian elegance only to the Adams T3. Accucraft bought this model out in a variety of liveries and with the two boiler variants earlier this year. The model being gas poker fired limits what could be done in terms of improvements to our two models but even with that restriction there are many areas, cosmetic and working, where there's room for "polishing". Here is one of the two models when finished.
If anybody's interested I can go through some of the things we did which included:
Add cylinder drains and dummy drain cocks
Improve the chimney
Add an Enots valve
Draw file the coupling and connecting rods
Improve the look and fit of the coal load
Increase gas capacity
Move gauge glass and its drain valve
Move lubricator tank
Add a detailed, glazed cab with a scale reverser
