Cheers for the positive comments, much appreciated! Roof and a bit of cab interior next:

I do love the bare metal stage, things tend to sit like that for a while until I can bring myself to paint them. Decided to go with br green colours on this one :
And after a light weathering:

That's a lovely piece of work and looks great in primer. Can you let me know where you get brass bevel gears from please? Thanks Peter! Bevel gears were from essel engineering, although I had to drill out the one on the drive axle as they only supplied 6mm and I decided to go with 1/4” axles for ro...
