Building the 2mm 08 shunter kit

If you've seen the instructions for the 2mm Scale Association 08 shunter kit, you'll know what a good result an experienced loco builder can produce. I make no such claim, but I aim to learn through this experience, so that my next attempt will be better. Or as the philosopher said, "When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began".

The roof ribs

Just been reviewing what I still need to do - more than I thought, it turns out. But at least my worst fear - having to paint the ‘wasp stripes’ - evaporated when I was told that transfers are available for this. Thanks Mick :-)

Next task is to paint the body, but first something I overlooked earlier.
