More on the Garratt

[CoggesRailway]

I have rebuilt the front tank, made a mock smoke box, added cab windows and started the very boring process of adding pin heads as rivets...

Of course the thing will fit together better once its not just a pile of parts.... just thought I would update you all. I also have a lot more detail to add. I took photos outside so it was surrounded by plasticard offcuts and the like....

Fair play Ian, that's going to be a beauty!

Now that is coming along very nicely. With the LGB drives it should be bulletproof. With my two 'in limbo' Garratts, I changed the boiler design several times to get the right look. All I need to do is paint my locomotives and wire them, but alas, little to no motivation right now to do so. Hopefully, you will soon have a functioning model.

Thanks chaps, tim appreciate the encouragement. Before long I want to get it into primer and then fix it rather than resting it together. This will give a better impression of the final look. I know it isnt grade a modelling, but you have to learn somehow Cheers.
