2-8-0 To The Paintshop

The large 2-8-0 tank - so synonymous with the South Wales valleys - is just about complete.


Himself is planning to strip all the motion and wheels off before painting the frame, which is why the crank pins are not cut to length yet nor the rods secured.

Painting shouldn’t be too much of a hassle - the Engineering Consultant wants it in unlined black.

It’s not the end of our adventure in 3mm standard gauge, however.

Himself has two more carriages and an (allgedly) simpler 2-8-0 kit to build after this.
