Really helpful. You are a modeller’s modeller- thank you

Thanks for this series of videos - much appreciated. I have one of these in the stash so it was great to see it progress and see that it was generally a trouble-free build.

Hi and what a lovely walk through on building a superb steam locomotive 👍🏻

Great start on a wonderful project. Looks like my waiting over one year finally pays off. Thanks for sharing, Sim.

I do have to say all kits that I buy will be built at some point I do try and plan ahead a little bit many thanks Sim

Looks like a big/long model, looking forward to part 2

That is great. I have been considering one of those kits, your video is helping me to decide to get one.

Thank you so much headmaster lol Sim

The copper and brass look nice but I don’t think copper and brass would hold up to the heat and pressure steam would put them under. They would use iron piping,and it would be painted the same color as the rest of the compartment.

Looking good mate

Great build

It's a beautiful kit really goes together nice many thanks Sim

I know this video is a couple years old but I really enjoy your videos, also do you have any plans of building the 1/35 Leopold railway gun?

Looking good Simon , I wouldn't leave any shines brass personally as I think it was all painted over, but I haven't got to look at it every day. Where is this dio going as your shed is tiny

I have been allocated a large room in the house and work will start very soon I will do some short videos of my progress with the display area many thanks Sim

looking good Simon. From the front: smoke stack, sand box, steam dome. I'm not sure what the thing is behind the steam dome, maybe a whistle and the relief valve. Sand is fed via hoses to the front of each driver to give them traction at very slow speeds. Without the sand the wheels would just spin. Steam dome is where the steam comes out of the boiler and is fed in to pipes going to the steam cylinders.

Thank you that answers a few questions everything I look at, lol looks like a braking system lol many thanks Sim

17:24 part C45 - that is a sand hopper, fine jets of sand were sprayed under the driving wheels to aid in traction when the locomotive started to roll.

Clear, concise and efficient video. Thanks for being on point with your modeling explanations.

Is this kit worth 200 bucks , I am so tempted but not sure :) I have the mortor kit also amazing kit to :)

BR 52 or Kriegslokomotive (War loco). Please dont use those ridiculous looking smoke deflectors on the sides of the smokebox. I have never seen one with anything even close to them. Leave em off!

Vasili- yeah fair call. someone else's model, someone else's tastes. I am yet to find any picture of an example as modelled by Trumpeter. I searched google, forums, Pintrest, everything. Thousands have the small sheet metal ones, but none have timber. it just wasnt very German

With the explanation marks it did look like you were very firm with your request hehe.. I'd love to see one in hot pink then watch a rivet counter explode .
