Scratch Building Darent in 16mm

I’ve been looking forward to making the lubricator as it’s the most challenging part I’ve ever made.
It’s size has given me the opportunity to model it as closely as possible to the full size one, it’s certainly pushed the boundaries which the amount of small but detailed parts needed.
Using a mixture of milled and turned parts it has kept me busy for a couple of weeks.
I’ve only got one more bit to add, which is the manual drive arm connected to the main drive shaft.

Very nice Simon, I have known the real thing for many years during the rebuild, that has certainly captured the look.
How will you be powering the loco, DCC, RC, something else?
