That tender really is quite good; I like the seating in there and the water tank looks very good with the rivets and the coal space in front. I have never had the nerve to try lining- I must say yours looks as good as any I’ve seen.

Another little masterpiece in the making Andrew. Love the woodwork and, as others have said, full marks on the lining. I'd never be able to hold my breath long enough to manage even one line.

Thanks chaps, much appreciated!

The benches in the tender are based on Ffestiniog locos, I was pleased with how they came out too. I might make a fireman figure to sit taking a rest on one of them.

And yes, I was happy with the lining, although it's all a learning process,, and there are clearly some bits where I've not quite learned enough! Happily, I suspect that'll be precisely where the heaviest weathering occurs...
