There are a lot of pipe runs and lost wax brass castings to be added around the firebox and along the frames which involves some careful soldering and a lot of precision bending of brass wire.
These are all time consuming tasks but there are a lot of external ancillaries on an NGG16 and the model wouldn't look right if it didn't have as many of them as possible on there.
One of the last things to be added will be the handrails but the holes have already been drilled, as you can clearly see in the picture.
Since the last time I posted the cab roof has also been bent to shape and is resting in place for now.
