Edison red Gem complete at last

I put a post up a little while ago about this Edison Gem D that I found on Gumtree about 20 minutes away from me, this machine was originally sold in Jarrow, near Newcastle, England which is where I'm from so of course I had to have it, I've since named it the 'Geordie Gem'
it came needing some adjustments but it was missing some parts, least of all the horn and crane, I recently bought an original Gem horn that had quite a lot of surface rust and pitting, it had maybe 5-10% of the paint remaining so it obviously needed repainting so I've painted it into a red horn for the Gem, and made a crane and the Geordie gem is complete for the first time in many years, I'm happy how the horn turned out, though one or two little spots to touch up.
