After the post man dropped off a large package from The Train Dept containing my boiler and body kit, I set about finishing my Lady Anne project. After my evening class, I formed and soldered up the body and put it into the dishwasher before bed time so it would be clean and ready for painting in the morning. Next day I went and got an etch primer and high temp gloss black spray cans at the local Rural King store. You can see the results in tne 2 photo onward. The first photo is actualy a video, click on it to link to the actual video. This was the first test run on steam. I am now looking for help to tap into the steam line, prior to the throttle, so I can hook up my Regner whistle along with suggestions on getting a wire up to the front lantern to light it up. I plan to use the engine itself for ground, so only one wire needs to get up there. She runs excellent, even being still a bit stiff and needing run in. I decided to name him Oliver, as I felt the name suited the engine best. I have a request into Roundhouse for builders plates like is installed on thier RTR engines. Enjoy the pictures and video. Cheers Mike
