Minerva GWR Pannier Tank 7711

 I finally got around to finishing my Minerva 57xx Pannier Tank.  Details added per instructions, number & builders plates are from Narrow Planet.   As this is the riveted tank version,  I decided on number 7711,  which was built by Kerr Stuart in 1930.   This will be the most "modern" loco I have for the layout.  It's really too late for my era,  but how can you not have at least one Pannier on a railway in Somerset !  After all in my fantasy world the GWR runs into Windrush Junction to connect with the Boxer Bay Railway.

 Weathering is my usual easy way of acrylic washes and chalk powders.  Not too bad,  however I might revisit the weathering again on this loco in the near future.  Fireman / Driver  figures are by AC Stadden and very nice too !
