Davenport in 009: finishing off the design...

Thanks to members of the NGRM online forum I've had some help with some of the details of the prototype that aren't visible in pictures so I've moved several steps closer to a finished model...

 The buffer beams have a coupling pocket, with a slot for a Greenwich coupler and I've begun to add the strengthening fillets to the chassis. As well as this I've also begun working in 2D to design the etched parts including the radiator, bonnet doors, cab doors and roof.

As well as the etched parts I've matched the font the Detroit, Yukon Mining Company used on their Porters (numbers 1-4) (College Yearbook). I've begun to sketch up some transfers for this Davenport and the Koala Creek Porter in the same style. More soon...
