Wow quite some time since I updated this particular topic (June 2019). My N10 has been out to numerous shows since then the last one being the recent Wensleydale Model Railway show at Leeming Bar.

The loco build has moved on quite a way since then.

First as often happens when talking to people at shows – a step in the wrong direction. In my last post I had fitted the smokebox wrapper and I had done a lovely job of it even if I say so myself. However do pop back and have a look you will notice a half etched recess low down on the side. This is meant to be on the inside… Sadly I made a bit of a mess taking it off so had to make a new one from nickel sheet.

The body work has progressed a bit too.
