I finally got round to adding the fireman although this required some reworking inside the cab (can you spot what has been moved?):

If you check out the Roundhouse website and look at the factory built Silver Lady you can see the differences.

Steamed tested and all working well despite not being run for quite a while!

I am hoping one day when we move house that I can build some sort of railway again for when I am not playing with larger engines.

I want to be the first to congratulate you Tom. I have always said a locomotive is not complete without driver and fireman, so now you have come to the same conclusion....... very well done!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

I remember Zach telling me that some live steam enthusiasts won't put a driver in the cabs of their locos because they are the driver. I've never quite seen the logic of that.

Those figures look just right, Tom.

I agree with both Peter and Rik, looks much better.
Also glad to see that there might be a RWLR Mk2 at some point in the future. :D
