LNWR Loco stud in 7mm

[Kevin MH]

Most need work, but all are fitted with decoders with sound and run up and down my little garage branch line. The Special Tank is painted (15 months now) and waiting for me to gird my loins and line it. That's a lot of work with decals. I am assuming it will be many sessions on the workbench...All in Burbank, CA.

Looking good Kev

Nice! Very nice! That's some cool stuff you got there Kev!

Would be great to see progress as it unfolds

Several projects there. Painfully, once they make sound and pull a train, I tend to leave them alone. Gotta buckle down.

Kevin,
If you want a reason not to spend ages lining the Special Tank, here are two.

Finally I got up the nerve to do a few inches of transfers. Not perfect, but I am moving on!

But I am enjoying the result! Check back with me when I start to do the boiler bands....

 

[Kevin MH]

I've done several boiler bands as well.

Kevin,
I'm intrigued by the 'A' class in the background of your opening post, is that a scratch build ? I've built three examples in 7mm scale in the past.

No, it is a limited run kit. Nick Eastman drew up a whole series of LNWR locos under a banner of BIWO (Because I want one) in 4mm, including an A class. They have been taken over by London Road Models. Nick then drew up a 7mm A Class, I got lucky, got wind of it, and got one. I don't know if he is going to produce it again.

That was a good find, I still have the profile milling patterns for the models I produced...

Nearly half done. The splashers get arcs, that are on the way from Britain. There is a slight variance in the width of the lining on the corners compared to the straights. Not noticeable from a few feet away, but if you blow the picture up, you will see it on the cab side.

Oh! Now I recognize your moniker! Those were FABULOUS. Really humbled me. Still, one must soldier on!
