Well, I finally got off my backside and started making my Accucraft Edrig look a bit more like a Heywood estate loco using the Back2Bay6 conversion kit.  This weekend I have fitted the new chimney and resprayed the smokebox with heat resistant black paint.  

So here is Sir Arthur Heywood inspecting the progress so far.
