As there are many versions of the panniers I think you will find both finishes are represented, unless you are trying to model a particular engine is a case of pot luck.

Close-up photographs always reveal even the tiniest imperfections on a model.... but I can't see any in those pictures - magnificent work! Did GWR paint their handrails? That's about the only thing that looks a little odd to my eye, seems most locos (with separately fitted parts) have metal finish handrails - but I know little about the Great Way Round (am an LMS man myself  ).

That museum reminds me of work  During Covid RR at Bristol stopped the Trust members having access to the archives and I am not sure if they have access again. Not very helpful if you are trying to build a model of one of their engines. Jo

Sounds like an impressive engine! Do you have a picture of what it will look like?
Watching along!
Hi Chris, thanks for popping in. here are some pictures and videos also. https://www.engineman.de/product/plan-12-cylinder-v-engine/?lang=enThere was a video of an American guy at YouTube, showing a test run at a show, but I canīt find it anymore.

Hello Achim,
Welcome to your new project 
A V12 is an ambitious undertaking, lots of repetitive cylinder and valve gear stuff. CNC will be a great help with that.
The crankcase fixture looks good and robust, a sound basis for accurate work. Will the crankcase fixture also double up for the crankshaft?
Cheers
Mike
Mike, thanks for watching. The crankshaft is made from several equal segments. Similar to the Schillings design, but with smaller bearings. It will make sense to do the assembly in the crankcase already.

I have had success silver soldering sheet stainless steel, but using an appropriate flux, Tenacity No 5. I think it's more aggressive than the normal brew and lasts longer - but it needs a caustic pickle to clean up.  Ashpan2 by Wilf, on Flickr Wilf
