Photo's of 4" Burrell's

Mark, I cheated!

I sprayed everything an removed the paint from the letters. The top of my letter were flat and all it took was a rub with fine wet n dry.

Thanks Julia.
I think thats what the previous owner tryed exept it looks like he used something like a screwdriver to scrape the paint of the letters which has resulted in lots of deep scratches which i have been try to wet n dry out but it does'nt seem to be working so i will give it one more go and if it does'nt work i will order a new one.

I got all the deep scratches out and resprayed it the same way as Julia and it works very well a lot better than trying to brush paint between the letters.
Thanks again Julia

Hi All,

I thought I would share the photos of my newly completed 4" which was delivered to me on Wedsnesday the 8th. It has been succesfully steamed by me alone and drives very well, all the relevant paperwork was also present and the postie even delivered the NTET disc from Walker Midgely as the engine was unloaded.

A word of warning though, I would think very carefully about this route before embarking on it due to a number of reasons not least of which is the loss of the building experience and the fact that I can no longer hold my head high and say yes when people ask if I built it. Also I dont feel I can say that its is an STW or Modelworks version as it is neither. It is however very pleasing to be finished.

The first is the engine on the road the second is my little man enjoying the ride and finally me including the MW trailer I bought and completed two years ago in anticipation.

MY BURRELL 4" TO DATE
