Hi, all,

Thank you, guys, for kind comments.
The kit was easy to build, Frank, good fitting and nice details, especially the wood sides and all the rivets and bolts.
Cheers

Nice work and fantastic detail with the brake!!! Also I like the wood-look!
Once I´ve planned to build this kit, and the WR360 loco.
So many plans... but noth enough space and money.
greetings...

Hi again,
a few days ago I was told by my friend, modeller, there should be some grab handles above the foot steps, and yes, he was right and I had absolutely forgoten these parts, which are not provided in kit anyway. Now it is fixed and flexible air hoses glued on as well.
Cheers
