Hello thank you for all kind comments

Several weeks I redesigned and built many parts. This week I have exhaust pipe , front run board and head light to present. I put 3 LEDs to the head light. One for the main light and 2 for number plate lights. The cover glass rim glows up too. I should add black painting to its rim.

Thank you Aven

Hello there
The hand rails were completed. I bent 1.2 mm along to the template. All pieces were bonded by cyanoacrylic glue. The paper joints make the rail stronger.

There's so much stuff already that one's eyes wonder around for a while before locating the added fatures. I said it before, I say it once again - this model with the tender tops all time high in my rank!

Thanks for the picture of very classic train. If I do a loco for the next project , I have Y6 in my choice. But I'm not sure how much details I can find it. If you know the source of drawings of T-1 2102 or any steam loco i will be happy to get or buy it.
Cheers

After following this build to date, it is quite possible that I will have to replace my keyboard....I've been slobbering so much I can hold the keyboard by one corner and it just runs out like a river:o. The on thing that I've been puzzling over is the bending of the cardboard...that has got to be a royal pain in the caboose. I would love to build one but I'm afraid that the knowledge and capability to do so are light-years beyond my grasp.
