GWR 850 June 23 2025

Progress continues on the GWR 850 project.

Smokeboxes added to the boiler units and the long process of individually hand embossing rivets on all the saddle tanks so they can then be formed and soldered in place.

boiler bands are also being soldered on individually again giving a better finish to the model than etched bands.

Approx 50'000 rivets! to do. 3 panel and 5 panel tanks shown below
