Shine A Light

Although I was bowled over by Himself's lining job on K1 it was clear that something wasn't quite right, and that something was the loco's giant oversize front headlight.

The basic whitemetal casting which came with the kit looked so crude in the context of that beautiful paint job and the lovely Walschaerts valve gear.

The same thought occured to Himself and so he's had a go at creating something more like that giant shiny lampshade on the real loco.

Here's a before and after shot....



Narrow gauge bling indeed!
