Nice start, Cor. When completed will it be a powered model or static display?

Hauk

Looks like a fine set of etchings! It's a very strange little beast, an excellent choice for a model.

The journals seem to be brass castings. Or did you build them up from etched parts? -- Russ

Cor

bill, the model will be powered

Russ, the journals can be made from the etch, but somebody draw them as 3d with the option to buy them on shapeways

Welcome to the forum, Cor. That looks like a really interesting little locomotive. I can't wait to see how the project progresses.

Welcome aboard! That's a very interesting prototype loco, and a cool kit. Looks like you're off to a great start!
