...and in the firebox it will "burn" if it`s not "made in Japan"

A little more progress on the engine and front end.
I did manage to knock the chimney off and spent some time replacing it!
Ham fisted so and so................................. .

looking very good, try not to be too ham fisted like a sweet child in time.

The musical quotes still keep coming, here I am listening to Paul Jones on Radio 2 - Blues.

your latest model could turn out to be the "Highway Star"

These musical quotes could be never ending.

If it breaks down, you could always call Ted the Mechanic!

 With a model like this with "fire in the basement", "too much is not enough" and you would have to be a "fortuneteller" or a "holyman" to believe that "you fool no one".

Now beat that!

"Sometimes I feel like screaming" when you start with that "bad attitude" but I can only blame it on that "strange kind of woman" of yours, so I guess you're "not responsible".  Even if some "wrong man" with a "mean streak" came "knocking at your back door" he'd think "nobody's home" cos you're too "lazy" to answer it. 

Those blooming brain cells are in overdrive!

Is modelling a form of Madness?? All I hear is the 'sound of silence'.................................

Too much, too much, my modelling is suffering.

Finding this model a challenge - no lets be honest - difficult.
I now need to tidy things up and do a bit of research into "Thresh Disinfectors" to put on the back.
The resin wheels are fairly delicate, quite a bit of fettling had to be done to strengthen them.

What the h§%$ is a "thresh disinfector"?

Probably a spilling mistayke.

I think it was the title of the second album by 1980 Midlands death metal band "Napalm Death".

Seriously though, crikey, there's some amazing work going on here - can I see a subtle shift from military to agriculture here?

I can see a shift from diesel engines to steam, and I think that it`s great!!! More please!
