3D Printed GWR Pannier Tank

Lovely looking model locomotive, another very fine model to display with the interesting collection of historic and characterful Gauge 3 loco models that you have been producing.  Dave

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  ).

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.

Makes sense - the railways did pretty much everything over time...

Anyway, you can always invoke Rule 1 ("I'll run what I want to run...")

It's a spectacular paint job BTW. Really really nice looking. I've got some N-scale stuff here that looks like it was literally dipped in the paint pot! Your finish looks every bit as good as a top notch ready-to-run loco.
