I agree they look first class. Great job. Looking forward to seeing you put them together.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it, been worth the pain to complete it lol

@Leyland I 3d printed everything except the wheels and the screws holding it together which I robbed off some duplicate minis I had. I've actually got 3d printed wheels as well, but haven't figured out the best solution for the axles as they are incredibly thin, almost like a pin with flattened ends, but I'm working on that. I've also sourced from eBay some screws that I think will suit, just waiting for them to arrive.

For those interested I will be offering a very limited run of these for sale, PM me if you think you'd like one, I'll be posting in the trading forum when I've decided the price, although I do not intend it to be massive. I will also be able to offer models without the name, number, face but with a proper smoke box door if anyone wants a real world Battle of Britain or West Country loco version.

This is going to be the first of my range of mini locomotives and rolling stock to compliment the track I'm also going to offer for sale. So again if interested let me know and watch the trading forum for details.
