Hmm, right. Taking a quick look at River Alde in my delirious state I suddenly had an idea. Why not put a Garrett style canopy above the cab and maybe a little way down the boiler - Garrett tractor style?
The loco would have been made by Garrett in their near by factory in Leiston (where Sirapite is) so I thought why not?
Here are some pictures of Garrett engines with and with out canopies for you to muse over. If well executed I think it could look rather smart. Would be completely removable of course.

Good evening, Insert Name Here!Narrow Minded wrote:Ah yes, I see it now My camera imp was running out of blueNot quite as light as MHLR, and not quite as dark as DVLR.
Liking the safety valve mod Mr Bond. Looking forward to seeing the canopy; it'll make a nice change from the usual "US logging line" wood and corrugated steel affairs. Your plan is much more in keeping with the loco.

I have been doing a little soldering today.
I have made up one of the two slanty tool boxes for River Deben seen here...
And also a whistle which is really nice and low.
The tool box is a little on the squaggle but nothing a pair of pliers can't sort out! I'll try and get a sample noise of the whistle up here for you to hear.
EDIT. and here is said video!
