BR(E) F5 2-4-2T

This is a loco purchased by a friend, it was not in the best condition, but at a reasonable price. I was given it to enhance the appearance, add back missing parts and give it a general clean up.

It did turn out to be a slightly more difficult job than expected as parts of the bodywork was ‘superglued’ together rather than the usual soldering on a brass kit. The only body part that may need replacing at a later date is the Cab Roof, its had a hard life, and is not a good fit!

Overall it has been made into a respectable static model, the motor does work, but a new set of pick-ups are required before full operation is possible.
