I wish...

Just fired him up and the steam pipe is leaking at the combi pipe. Once he has cooled down I'll be applying the pipe sealant and I'll try later on in the day.

AnDel have been very quick as per usual, I received the colliery hutch/tender for 'Victor' and it took me under half an hour to make.

All the parts laid out for assembly.

The coupling pin holes were drilled out, then the chassis bases were stuck onto the main body. Don't drill out to 1.5mm as the instructions suggest, as the coupling pins will fall straight through. I suggest 1.2mm or smaller. If going smaller, work your way up by .1mm at a time until the pin just fits.

The chassis sides were added, the axles threaded through the holes and the wheels pressed on and the back to backs checked.

The dummy coal load had the supports stuck on

and then the coupling pins were added.The instructions say to leave it as a straight pin, but I can foresee the wagon uncoupling itself from the rest of the train an awful lot! So I just bent the end over using a pair of needle nose pliers.

There we have it, one wagon cum tender.

Here ya go:

I'm sure you'll agree that it looks to be in proportion. Not too big, nor not too small.
