Light at the end of the tunnel

All,

I've been really getting stuck in to the P87 18.37mm gauge J Class project since Christmas. As you can see, it's getting there. (For the record; the tender is in undercoat, as it was completed some time ago.)

My apologies for the dirty state of the engine - it still needs a wash. The engine still needs to be tested on some track under its own 'steam' - particularly through some points. Then the final parts need to be added to complete the model.

I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Cheers,

Julian

All,

Thanks for the kind words.

Suffice to say that it'll be looking more and more like a steam loco from here on in...

Look forward to seeing your P87 ventures, Andrew and Tom. And Alco, how about you? Are you up for the challenge?!

Cheers,

Jules
