Engine #2...ready for the paint shop

I finished the detail work on the Toma Model Works body kit this morning, and matched it to the F&C 0-4-0 chassis. This is a fairly advanced level kit, and the first brass/white metal kit I have attempted. It definitely pushed my skills, and I learned a lot in the process.

Here she is posing on my N scale layout.





She is not without her rough edges...like I said, there are a few things I would do differently next time. However, I am looking forward to cleaning her up a bit and getting her ready for a few coats of paint. Engine and tender will receive basic steam-engine black, with a graphite smokebox.
