Today i received two parts from lineside delights.

Dummy lubricators, and a tool chest.
the tool chest isnt pictured as its not painted yet.

other jobs that need doing are- re line, smokebox re paint altho i will probs be getting a DJB smokebox soon, saftey valve cover and small parts such as oil cans.
the lamp needs a new bolt as the hex head on it has rounded off.
the vacuum pipes need to be replaced/ put back on, the front one keeps snapping, and the back one has just come off.

i might put new dumb buffers on, as the ones already on dont look good enough.

the boiler needs cleaning inside, as its full of bits and probs limescale. which means i have had to take my whistle apart about 6 times to clean it.

parts of the cylinders need a repaint where they have scraped along the ground.

they look good Andy

Looks brilliant Andy!! Is the DJB smokebox the one like on the coal fired Cedrig?

Are you going to put a fake pipe in between them and the cylinders?

Yeah, I have to agree, that now looks like a proper loco.

Andy would have to drill a hole in the casting if he wished to do that, as the valve at the bottom is the lubricator drain. Otherwise you'll just have to imagine that the steam feed goes through the tank which make no sense atall

one other thing i forgot to add, was that i am thinking of adding a dummy mechanical lubricator to the running board, connecting with the running gear.
