More progress with my first attempt at scratch building. I'm one of those people who has to file the soldering iron bit down to the copper at the beginning of each session, and that's with an electric iron, so I wasn't looking forward to working on the substantial chunk of metal that will be become the boiler. In fact it went very well when I used an 80W iron and Fluxite.
I built the boiler on the assumption that it could be separately painted, then fitted, but I'm thinking it can all be assembled then painted, if I glue on the injectors and Westinghouse brake after painting and lining the main carcass.
