O&K 20hp in 009: details details...

The O&K 20hp print I produced recently had some 'un-tested' extras for the forthcoming Narrow Planet kit...

These are the clack valves and steam feed valve - they are mounted on 1mm section so I drilled 0.9mm holes opened out to 1mm with a broach checking for a tight fit. To these I have begun to add the detailed pipework - 0.45mm brass rod - also used for the cab handrails. The sand pipes are 0.7mm brass rod. The detail etches are fitted - I've got a little more to do before this is ready for painting, but what you see is the result of about an hour and a half's modelling showing just how quickly these little German steam locomotives come together.

More soon...
