Roundhouse Katie's Smoke box

After many months of indecision, I finally painted Katie's smokebox matt back (with stove paint). Other mods include a lamp, handrails on the tanks and dummy lubricators. I also sprayed the cab roof and cylinder covers matt. This short video shows the before and after. And yes I know it was going too fast!

My new Linda has a silk matt smokebox, cilindercovers and cabroof straith from Doncaster.

Hot Spot - Stove Black spray paint from a garden centre, but Halfords Matt Black Acrylic spray is nearly as good.

Thanks for the comments! Regarding a first loco - it depends on your budget - but look at the PPS Janet, the Accucraft Edrig and the Roundhouse Millie. Edrig is a bit big for 16mm but great value at just over £400.

Yes indeed Peter, but there is always a can of gloss paint ......... though there is not much chance of it being used!

What paint did you use?

We run battery powered engines now but would like to get into steam. What would you recommend as a first engine? On a budget. Thanks, keep up the great videos.
