I did a bunch yesterday. The boiler was wrapped with a thin layer of styrene and I started on the rough firebox work.
The firebox backhead was built from castings that I made back when I build these.....<!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.bigbluetrains.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5279">viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5279</a><!-- l -->
Although I do like working in brass more, I opted for plastic on this build because of the time restriction,,, Brass takes a lot longer to work with.
