I see they have the mindless scribble over there too.

Not a bad looking loco either.

G'Day Gents Hi Jim, I try to, but not always, as there's nothing available, the J3 and 4. I took the dimensions from the 'K's' J3, the D2, O1, C1&2 those came from the 'Railway Modeller' some are from drawings off of the net that I have managed to scale to my needs, The J17, is all guesswork, as...

Have stopped work on the J17, waiting parts from the UK. So back to the Atlantic, cab, boiler and running plate are now all glued together and the firebox, I think it's a fraction high, I might be able to lower it a bit, but not much, or I'll leave the top of the boiler to thin.
