MANTUA 0-6-0

[Kusojiji]

finally got it done. Did change the numbers and chose 409 as it was in the decal sheet and I didn't want to have to try to align them. They're a bit spaced out, but whatever.

Got the wiring in and realized last night that I had forgotten the bridge rectifier for the firebox flicker so that it can work in both directions. It's a little dim so I might change the resistor.

Before final assembly, gave everything a coat of Tamiya flat clear to get rid of the shine and blend/seal the decals in.

Runs as good as before so I didn't damage anything.

Thank you boss! Just ordered a pre-owned J52 from the other side of the pond and will be remotoring, lights, etc. But would like another Mantua, possibly a Mikado.
