Looking good. In the latest MRJ there’s a Manning Wardle where the builder has incorporated a similar boiler/firebox onto the frames, which seems a sensible thing to do. Handy place to secure the motor. I find views of the pickup arrangements interesting as it gives food for thought, so cheers. Looking at the whitemetal body, I’d like to mention that I’ve been quite pleased using rivet transfers. On my (7mm) build, I lost the etched-on rivets on the smokebox, and replaced them with transfers. You can just about see the carrier film, but not too bad. Mine were from Archer, but Railtec now do a large selection.
