S&DJR FULL BRAKE (7)

Here we are again. I am being very good at the moment and trying to get projects finished.

 

I have finished lining the PBV and all in all I am quite pleased. I did the lining under a magnifying glass, which for me was much better. It is not as good as some peoples from this manor. From general viewing distance it looks very much the part.

And a very cruel close up. The varnish should help to bring it all together.

I have to give it a coat of varnish to protect the finish. I have discovered a set back. I have no transfers. I thought the S&DJR were on one of the LMS HMRS transfers sheets. I was not worried as I have all the LMS ones. But I have now found out they are on the Midland sheet. Now need to try and get a sheet sent here from the UK not the easiest thing in the world as HMRS do not do internet sales.

 

So for now it will be going on hold for a month or two, which is a shame because I wanted to get it to the UK and sold.

Thank you Kev

I had thought of that, but being in Brazil I do not want to load someone with problems to save me a little aggrovation.

You're not making it easy for a GWR modeller to stay on the straight and narrow! This looks great. I find that working with a magnifying glass takes some practice, but agree that it's worth it in the end.

I am well pleased with it. I will be even happier when it is completly done. All this lining I will make it better for when I do my own coaches.

I have decided that I now need a bigger magnifying glass, the one I used is really to small. As you say it takes a bit of getting the hang of.
