    That side view does show it to be a chunky "Beast"!
    But I think Gav106 is a bit pessimistic - Top Front of Smokebox, Wedgeshape Front of cab, lower side sheets, additional tender tank top...and boiler casing - expensive certainly but on top of the £2m, around 10%(?) and the marketing/publicity value for the "Mini A4".....
    But first, lets get the B17 built!

    Slightly off topic I would like to see the F5 with a detachable armour and an armoured train in tow, because you’d make a killing at the war on the line events.

    Vera Lynn and Glen Miller on repeat play is enough to send anyone over the edge.

    Although the majority of the chassis of River Mite already existed as the steam tender chassis from River Esk. Is there a history of the constuction of River Mite anywhere? I remember seeing it in Clarksons works in 1966. It was much larger than most of the jobs the took on.

    If I remember rightly, at one time there was a OO maker who produced a resin loco and tender bodies that could be fitted to a Hornby B17. The older rather than current model.

    This project seems to have gone quiet recently and the website does not have much information after March 2019.....

    So? Sometimes a lot goes on in the background without regular updates. As is the case with many groups in preservation.

    Better to put a comment like that on the website then. If people see no updates, they might assume the project has been abandoned and stop any regular donations or planned future donations.
