I've done as much as I can on 2047 and handed it over to Himself to finish off.
That innocent phrase - finish off - involves a lot more than you might first imagine.
There's the handrails which go either side of the entrance doors to be soldered together from brass wire, which probably Himself's least favourite job.
The bogies will need couplings fitted, which may well involve grafting on an extension to the shaft.
There is the glazing to cut and fit and the roof to glue into position.
Then, and only then, will he be able to begin to think about priming and painting it by hand.
It will be finished off with transfers, a coat of varnish and the interior populated with a few people.
(Only a few, mind. Have you see how pricey they are!)
So as you can see, it's a real team effort.
