OK. Although she ran OK, I wasn't entirely happy with the way she looked. The body was riding too high on the motor block and there was a distinct rake to the boiler - which was rising up at the front.
So, a fair bit of hacking about with the razor saw to both the body and the motor block and the body is now 7.5mm lower than before. Also, 2mm hacked off the smokebox mounting and the boiler looks more or less horizontal.
Still a fair bit to do - but I'm happier with the way she now looks.

PS - I had a comment on Youtube from one of the guys who is building a full size replica of the original loco saying he'd love to see my model for real when it's finished ...... no pressure then!
