Great Central Railway N5 0-6-2T - WIP

A quick up-to-date photo of the mystery engine with the glowing fire.

 

This is my first model of a British locomotive that isn't modeled off of a preserved example, which I don't see done very often.

 

The decision to make this particular model was rather spontaneous...I hadn't made a proper locomotive model in some time, and I got tired of choosing and taking too long, and I just decided to try this one out. The goal was a regular suburban NE tank engine that made it into BR days. A pretty simple guideline. This does mean that when the model is complete, it will be decked out in a handsome BR-lined black livery.

 

Seeing as I'm so close to finishing the model, I thought I might as well finish it and share it. Need to work on cab detailing then the rear bunker.

 

More to come soon.
