Have got back to Boadicea's smokebox following time on the BR Mk1s.
Have added the rivet detail, the smoke deflector supports and various holes in the smoke box for such things as the regulator, whistle steam supply and main steam to the valve chests.
The whistle is a dummy with the working whistle fitted under the smoke box.

Jim

The whistle is a lovely touch.

I haven't seen anything in the books etc., but I assume the Britannias had a 3 chime whistle like the LNER?
