Thanks Rob

I shall take some pics of the valve gear when i have finished painting the wheels.
The pumps from kent garden railways, but its made by roundhouse.

Recently i painted the running board and cab roof satin black. Makes it looks miles better.
Buffers have been painted

Also at christmas i fitted a sight glass and top up. Very helpful.

I also did Petes trick with the roof, gluing the bolts on, so it can just be lifted off.

To those who i talk to on msn, i did not take these pics on my camera, i stole my mums

yep.

It shall probably be the running loco, as edrig massive beams might not get round mamod track.

It was just as well all my levers had fallen off by the time I got my Edrig then. I remember being told though that Edrigs weren't toy steam enough for STIA, to me anything below 10 1/4" is a toy, perhaps it's because they work to well.

I would have to disagree with that.

I would say mamods are toy steam. But anyfrom from edrigs up to 10 1/4 is a proper boys toy, not just a toy

Ok there is a difference between a toy and a proper toy, but it still has the word toy in it!
