Thanks for this series of videos - much appreciated. I have one of these in the stash so it was great to see it progress and see that it was generally a trouble-free build.

Hi and what a lovely walk through on building a superb steam locomotive 👍🏻

[GinMiko]

Great start on a wonderful project. Looks like my waiting over one year finally pays off.
Thanks for sharing, Sim.

Looks like a big/long model, looking forward to part 2

[ChrisK-LTC]

That is great. I have been considering one of those kits, your video is helping me to decide to get one.

Wow Great progress and a fine build Sim, well done my friend, superb work as always.
You are really making fast progress on your rail GB entry Sim and it is looking really great so far. Have fun with the rest of the build and many thanks for sharing these videos.

Excellent build so far, can't wait to see the completed loco, looks as if it will be a fantastic model to add to your HUGE diorama

[andrewmacdonald]

Thinking of getting one of these, will go with 1, 35 viechles etc for a diorama.

Very Nice Simon that's coming along beautifully.Im now tempted to get a Engine for my Leopold

[FreakazoidakaBen]

I Think i can, says the little locomotive 😉. It looks really good until now. Have a nice Weekend Sim.

looking good Simon. From the front: smoke stack, sand box, steam dome. I'm not sure what the thing is behind the steam dome, maybe a whistle and the relief valve. Sand is fed via hoses to the front of each driver to give them traction at very slow speeds. Without the sand the wheels would just spin. Steam dome is where the steam comes out of the boiler and is fed in to pipes going to the steam cylinders.

The copper and brass look nice but I don’t think copper and brass would hold up to the heat and pressure steam would put them under. They would use iron piping, and it would be painted the same color as the rest of the compartment.

I know this video is a couple years old but I really enjoy your videos, also do you have any plans of building the 1/35 Leopold railway gun?

[petethescalemodeller]

Is this kit worth 200 bucks, I am so tempted but not sure :) I have the mortor kit also amazing kit to :)

[vasili]

Looking good Simon, I wouldn't leave any shines brass personally as I think it was all painted over, but I haven't got to look at it every day. Where is this dio going as your shed is tiny

[agwhitaker]

17:24 part C45 - that is a sand hopper, fine jets of sand were sprayed under the driving wheels to aid in traction when the locomotive started to roll.

BR 52 or Kriegslokomotive (War loco). Please dont use those ridiculous looking smoke deflectors on the sides of the smokebox. I have never seen one with anything even close to them. Leave em off!

Clear, concise and efficient video. Thanks for being on point with your modeling explanations.
