Got a bit further with the Baldwin, namely cab windows and window handle model rendering below, the castings now exist for the conduit fittings and I'm getting on with the bodywork. The panel under the tank is now fitted.

Conduit castings  They are designed to take 8mm heating pipes for the conduit.

Under tank panel bolted on with all dummy rivets in, there are some button heads above the doors which are not fitted as they are in the post. The under chimney panel will be replaced as this first effort is not quite right, but you get the idea.

Thanks Paul, a 7.25" gauge. Scale is 1:3.26. There are other pictures of my chuffing about in the work in progress if you're interested.  Here and here

Drilling the doors for the various strips which need riveting on.

Cab window handles seen previously as a render now exist in white bronze.

Thanks chaps – I ordered the taps and tapping drills for M1 and M1.2 yesterday. I've already received the stainless cheese head screws for the elbow lids. It's going to make me sweat fitting them.

I've modified an air chisel hammer this last week to drive rivets. Seems to work with snap heads with a 1.7 times diameter stick through. The drawing seemed to be overkill, but at least I got the hole and slot in the right place for it to fit together nicely.

Kind regards
