Here is the beginnings of the new project on the workbench, British Railways Standard Class 4MT 2-6-4T No.80118.
The kit is from Modern Outline Kits and comes well packaged and presented with great instructions.
The kits comes with a miriad of castings and nickel silver etches, with some very comprehensive instructions.
First, tackle the smaller parts and the rear bogie, followed by the pony truck.
Now for the main chassis, the whole chassis presses together with tabs and goes together very well.
Before the valve gear is tackled, attention turns to the superstructure. Again this is all assembled with a tab lock system prior to an permanent joints being made, this allows for accurate alignment.
