Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST

Post by MTA » Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:08 pm

No, not Live Steam!

I am currently building an O Gauge Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST kit based on the 14 inch cylinder version. I have been working on this since Monday and I am now at the painting stage :D

So far, I have completed the backhead and have almost finished the handbrake.

This picture was taken before I added the detail parts:

I added the 'pressure gauge' (top right, which was simply an off cut of Pewter rod.

All I have done since the picture was taken is that I have added firebox door handles and painted some dirty water in the gauge glasses and painted a needle on the pressure gauge. Which to me has really given it some depth and added detail :) I still need to attach some brass pipe from the pressure gauge to the manifold, so it isn't floating in space :roll: If possible I will try to add in the loop of pipe, like the prototypes have :)

I have also painted the wheelsets, and the body (boiler and saddle tank) is currently in primer. Annoyingly though I have run out :( The next pic will be of the finished handbrake :D

WOW looks great! Is this our first O gauge thing on the forum? As the forum blurb says 'no matter what scale or gauge...'. Interesting! :D
