Riveting!

Did a few more jobs on the loco today including putting on some very small rivet heads. The pictures below tell the story.

The paint job is complete for the moment. 

The chassis has been run in on the bench using a couple of AA nicads
The remote unit has also been tested with the same sort of lash-up

The engine cover doors were supposed to have simply been scribed into the plastic.
I think the flat plastic looks very bare so I am adding these doors to add a bit of interest.
The pencil shows the size of the rivets.

Lots of rivets on the nose. I noticed the right hand one was out of line.
Luckly the glue was still wet and now it has been pushed back in line.

I am currently cutting out door overlays to fix to the side of the cabs as I really don't like the simple scribed ones that the instructions tell you to create.
Still to add are the horn, hand rails and exhaust stack plus the loco brake stand inside the cab.
Then its just a case of finishing any painting, adding lining to the body, fit the remote control and the rest of the wiring and finally glaze the windows.
The loco will be numbered 2 and named AMANDA after my eldest daughter.
