Its just begging for some clothes. What a canvas to start on. Its definately gotta be corris. Love to have a go myself.

Nice one Matt - the suspense has been killing me!
Definitely screams "Corris" in that colour

I'm looking forward to a closer look at some time (

I do really like these leaders, do seem like a good loco to mess about with as well. Wonder what you will do with it?

I take it that colour is primer.....

Not just this.

Im just not one for tender locos. dont know what it is but I have never kept one for long. I had a fowler for about 2 months didnt like it and got rid.

Throught with Linda being a british prototype it might be different. Oh well.

How close to scale is Linda from the prototype

I like the Leader, saddle tanks are nice, how does that compare to a Bertie?

Sorry didn't see that discussion, do you have a link for it, would be interesting to read but looks like this is what I'll aim for then.

After having a complete strip down today after a few QC issues, all is fine again! The loco recieved a matt smokebox and a driver.
