I usually leave it to him to do all the tricky metalwork such as bending the brass roof skin and fitting the brake pipe which runs all along the carriage, weaving this way and that.
There's also the devilish handrails to fabricate to go either side of the doors (he hates doing those) and the vacuum pipes to fit.
I've made up a pair of our brass and resin bogies but they'll need some precision violence to make sure they can swing enough for the tightest curves on Dduallt and they also need to be fitted with Greenwich couplers.
So actually it's quite a long way from being finished.
