I was at the NRM last weekend and banged off a few shots in case anybody is following Nick Feast's articles in ME. This is the first few; I'll keep adding to them. There's a separate thread for the tender.

Hope it's useful for somebody out there.

Its the cylinder oil atomiser.

Thanks - I thought it must be something to do with the lubricator!

Thank you for sharing these with us, I saw her many years ago at the Bluebell and was impressed by the finish achieved on the metal, the photos show this to good effect. It is often difficult to judge just how much filing and sanding a model needs.
All we need now is a T.I.G. welder that goes low enough to represent scale welds and we are there.
