Loco is well underway. So far bits are fitting well, except for the 2 bits for the smokebox front. Both are to large for the smokebox. Better than being to small.
The cab and firebox are soldered to the footplate. The boiler is resting in place. Needs a little more fettling at the firebox end.
The cab floor is just resting too. It did have the inner rear splashers attached, but it's a little narrow, so I snapped then off. The rest will be fitted after painting, along with all the parts attached to it.
I thought I had a brass safety valve cover, but I only found a white metal one the same as the the one in the kit, in the parts, which means it went onto the Dukedog. The one in the kit is ok. It will be black or green, not polished brass.
