In fact it is just posing on the first finished pair of ambulance bogies to see what it might look like
The bottom end boiler / tank casting and the upper cab are still to be fixed down until the firebox is fitted permanently in place.
With the bogies we’ve decided to revert to the original frame casting and accept the wheel sets will have to remain fitted during painting because to attempt to remove them risks them cracking - resin is inherently less flexible than injection moulded plastics, alas.
I think they’re pretty effective, and they certainly run freely - if this whit metal Livingston Thompson breaks away while being hauled uphill around the spiral we’re in trouble!!
