Very nice, the scene evokes childhood memories of the Acton shunting yard in west London.

Hi All

Happy new year everyone!

Although I like working with brass I've never built an actual brass locomotive kit. Towards the end of last year I set to work on one, A Judith Edge kit for a little 0-4-0 diesel shunter.

Here is the same after paint and in a more realistic setting. The garish livery wasn't something I was looking forward too but it turned out OK

While I was in the working with brass mood I also built a Brassmasters kit for a Deeley 0-4-0 Tank engine.  The valve gear was another first for me.

I love brass models they are pure for me modeling, very nice work.

Thanks all.

I like the way that (apart from a few castings, wheels and motor/gears) they start out as a few flat sheets of metal.
