Iron Duke, 71/4 gauge ex Winson, much rebuilt Britannia

[flyingfox]

Greetings, at long last I am back working steadily on this locomotive, and with the loco ready to run on air, here is a photo of the tender, which since it was taken, has had the rear facing window & frames added. I looked everywhere, but could never find the ones sent with the kits, and since speaking to other builders, neither could they, I suspect that winsons never issued them.
regards
BB

Looks good - its a thing of beauty.

Now that I have completed the tender, I have been able to get the chassis running evenly on air, having fitted glass filled PTFE piston valves.
so it was time for a test trial of the boiler and smokebox on the frames.
Still some work to do on the cleading, and a boiler backhead cover sheet to make, but interesting to see.
