Stephenson's Rocket by a49kid - OcCre - 1:24 Scale - Wayne

[a49kid]

I have now finished this OcCre Stephenson’s Rocket model.
Yes I know this is a wooden Boat / Ships Forum, but I believe we can also Post other models here.
And yes this very early locomotive kit is made by OcCre, Spain, who also make some very nice ships kits.
And this Early Rocket Locomotive is like those ship kits in that it has Laser cut plywood, Wood strips,
Brass tube and rod, and brass and cast metal fittings.
The Colour Pic build instructions are good, but sometimes they could also do with some added captions / instructions.
And the parts lists are good. It is 1:24 Scale.
But I will have to say I did go astray a couple of times, and needed to go back and ‘fix things’.
And I don’t think I’m as sharp now as when I was in my 20 – 30’s.
But in the end I’m very pleased with the finished result.
And I added a Driver, some Coal, and made a Track for it to sit on.
And I upgraded the wooden dowel stack to ½” tubing, and it looks better.
I used Tamiya spray paint and their acrylic jars.
And yes the skill level is right up there.
