Pugsley's Workbench

Are you not doing any underframe detailing on this one?

Adding the chains is a pain - and I've got some finer chain on back order with MG Sharp - the extra pipework around the fuel tank is dead easy and makes a big visual difference... and the sand pipes are just 0.5mm wire from a stripped down USB cable. This is glued to the bogie and then cut off in line with the chassis - so it appears to join but can move as the loco runs along curves. Pretty effective in practice

EDIT - and I use Hornby 31 buffers on my 37s

Eventually, perhaps. I'm trying to get this completed in time to appear at Showcase, which is approaching scarily rapidly!

 

I'm also moving away from extensive detailing in 4mm scale - a lot of small details are too fragile and easily knocked off, not ideal under exhibition conditions. However, the 7mm stock is going to be as detailed as possible

 

The handbrake chains will be added - I've got the Shawplan parts and the chain already, but that'll be it for the time being.

Can I ask you what was the BR green paint you have used, that is one of the best colour matches I have seen.

 

Martyn.

looks great pugsley B) have you chosen what your going to number it yet mate?

Cheers - it's going to be 37890 in RF Petroleum colours, as it was around 1991.

Hiya Martin,

 

I'm just catching up with things on here. Did you get this one finished?

 

Keep up the good work!

 

 

Cheers,

Hi Wayne. It's kind of finished, in as much as it's numbered and decalled. It just needs weathering and the finishing touches now - I'll put some pics up when it's done.
