I've been getting the layout ready for a show (Colchester, England) in a couple of weeks and have been messing around with one of the Spectrum 2-10-2 models.
I ditched the tender and replaced it with one from the 2-8-0 Consolidation, modifying the coal bunker and adding rear steps and light (both from the long tender)
I also added a footstep on the front pilot after removing the cowcatcher - this has been modified again since the photos were taken this evening!!
Finally I painted the loco black/grey before adding the Belt Railway of Chicago decals. I will be adding more weathering when the paint is fully dry.
