Portable has come on in leaps and bounds today.
Waiting for some bits now, mainly the copper rivetts for the boiler so I then can do the last of the soldering.
Need to narrow the rear wheels on the lathe, and sort a forecarriage and draw bar for the front.
Then there is the chimney. Whats the best glue for sticking on monkey muck?

Does the chimney rest on the whistle?

On the real ones, it rests in a cradle.

I don't think the whistle would hold a chimney on a real one.

Currently yes, but I've got a TEWK pipe plug on order, this I will doctor into a filler plug/ chimney cradle.
The pipework makes access to the safety valve difficult, though nowhere near impossible.
Not looking forward to sorting he chimney, me thinks it will be difficult to get straight. Also need to sort a flared end for the top.

Now finishedSo then, now finished
As you can probably tell, its a chopped TE1A, with a widened SE2 engine frame, and a SP5 flywheel. I'm quite pleased with it.
Especially the chimney and hinge, a 3/4 steel coat rail with a 2p on the bottom, and a copper flare from a pipe fitting I found in B&Q. Im also pleased with the front axle and drawbar.

I hadn't fitted the wheels and axle properly, and the rear axle wanted a trim.
