Modification to the smoke box first removing the moulded number plate and fitting a smoke box vacuum regulation device. Two hand rails are not required so the mounting holes were filled with “White Stuff” the centre step needs to be removed as these were only fitted to mainline locos.
Next up fabrication of the bunker extension rails a little modellers licence here in the positioning of the uprights. Finally the whistle was replace with a metal item salvage from an old Airfix 4F the one in sapper is considerably taller than the Dapol moulded one.
Thats coming along nicely...I think 'Royal Enineers' whistle is taller too?
