Vertical boiler loco with a HGLW chassis
Vertical boiler loco with a HGLW chassis
Hello there !
I tried to build a vertical boiler steam loco, but maybe it's just junk on wheels...
A good painting could give a better look...
My biggest hammer is ready to destroy it...just in case !:lol:
All your advices are welcome.

I'd say your 90% there, just hold back the hammer for the last 10%, it's looking good.

The basic shape is there, but still room for a few more details if you want. I'd leave the hammer for the moment...... (it looks to me like it be finished in a Peter Jones style, he was always great at making battery outline steam locos that didn't have much on them but always looked atmospheric)
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

That was a bit harsh. You should have tried painting if first. It is amazing how paint can bring a model together.

The Garden Railway Forum is a great forum.
It's very friendly and I really like to read all your threads.
But I made a big mistake.
Every time I tried to build something, I failed.
All I got is a full box of junk !
My last thread about my vertical boiler steam loco is a complete disaster.
Many thanks for all your advices and your patience.
That's the reason why I must leave the Garden Railway Forum.
