I wonder if such things don't harm the hobby since the erstwhile modeller is likely to be put off doing metal models in the future.
A 0-4-0 industrial loco would be a better starting point (I believe DJH do at least one), but it wouldn't have the cachet of a Pacific.

Anyway, here's a pic of today's progress.
The nose cone showing the four drilled holes for the lamp brackets.
Next weeks parts are the boiler and some more detail parts and hopefully the eight screws that should have been in this weeks issue. It looks like the body screws together to make one solid unit.

I suspect, as time goes on, you'll get just a coupling rod one week …………:roll::roll:
Throwing some "good stuff" in early on in the series, hooks people so they continue to buy. Once they get so far down the line, backing out is not an option so they start to put the insignificant parts in on a weekly basis. That's when they make their money …………:roll::roll:

Here's the pics so far. The cab has not been fixed down yet. It is only resting in place to give some idea of what it will all look like eventually.
That's it till next week when the next offerings will be some more bits for the cab.
