Using the bow pen, it did seem to flow better and the results are a little better. Still lots more practice required though.
Assembly will be carried out over the weekend or later this week if I get permission to enter the train room from SWMBO.

Now working on the 4th coach, the other 4 Compartment Brake. This should then complete my Sheffield Suburban Set. Motive power will either be a Craftsman Johnson Belpaire boilered 0-4-4T I have already built, or a Wills Finecast Stanier 2-6-4T I have yet to build - I haven't decided yet but both types were on shed in Millhouses in 1939.
In between while the coats or paint were drying I have been making a start on a part built BSL Stanier Period 3 65ft Vestibule RUO 1st Class dining car kindly donated by a good chap on another forum. Sides and roof were assembled, just needed a bit more detail and I constructed a comet underframe to fit underneath it. Now working on the interior.
Here is a pic of Ratio coach No 3 (note: was advised after that full livery requires red ends, so have now repainted the coaches with red ends!)

The coach looks like a museum piece Ian - perfect and the dining car looks very smart - "First Class" linen table cloths, lamps and comfortable looking chairs - they seem to be benches with arms down one side and arm chairs down the other. Tables for 2 and 4 maybe ?
Very, very impressive modelling again Sir !!!

I have also finished my BEF mobilization train of Vickers Mk4 light tanks, quads and 25lb field guns complete with gunpowder van and empty wagons as buffers. Not sure if a train ever existed like this but i like it amd enjoyed putting it together.

I very much admire your carriage and loco stock and your practice looks to be paying off rather well.
I too share your interest in loco kit building and now have a small stock of useful tank locos to suit my era and I'd even enrolled on a loco chassis building course at Pendon this year, having assembled the necessary tools and read Iain Rice's chassis building book. Then after making a right horlicks of assembling etched hornblocks, put a hold on kit building until after the course, which was then cancelled due to the pandemic!
I've re-booked for July 2021, which is such a long way off that I must attempt the hornblocks again. Once over this hurdle, it should be plain sailing. How difficult can it be eh? I will not give up without one heck of a battle!
Anyway, bon courage with your next loco build and I'm sure that your mounting experience will banish any issues still lingering in the background.
Best,
Bill
