More JLTRT Crab, getting there now, none of the boiler 3D is secured yet, it all needs some tweaking and smoothing to get rid of artifacts shown up with the witness coat.
The front end of the firebox is not secured yet, there in lies a tale of woe, many in fact (sadly), but by hook and by crook it's all finally starting to fit.
If you have a blue resin boiler then you'll also have pretty much all of the brass metal work as well, what you won't have is the smoke box front or firebox front either, enter Mr 3D to the rescue.
I need to revise the smokebox door a little, it looked good in 3D, great in the hand but then when fitted you get a lot more peripheral references which show up small errors.
I was also missing the safety valve assembly, whistle, reversing reach rod support casting, wash out plug fittings and one lubricator; the other wasn't much cop to be honest so new 3D required there, I'll turn down a new whistle in due course.
The kit white metal chimney, dome and reversing lever cover made lovely sounds as they clanged into the waste bin, replaced by Mr 3D again, the chimney is sleeved full depth with thin wall brass tube for strength.
Part of the vacuum ejector casting was maligned so I'll have to work up something there and fit to complete that assembly.
