Silver Bullet

Have had a play around with the Dapol Silver Bullet I purchased at York. Re wheeled with Alan Gibson disc wheels and replaced the ladder and handrail assembly with ladder etch from Model Signal Engineering and origami in 0.33mm brass wire. I've given it a light weathering blast with the airbrush. I'll probably add some drybrushed white and rust streaks yet, but probably not in time for the Epsom show this weekend. Any RM webbers are very welcome to come and say hello.

Now the ladder's been trimmed back, the wagon is in gauge and fits under the clay slurry loading point on Wheal Elizabeth. Photos attached below.

Nice work on them, did it take u long to do

Ta. Only about half an hour to fold up and solder the ladders and handrail. About the same to paint and spray over.

Very nice, I didn't realise that these were out yet. The ladder does look much better than I remember the factory fitted on looking. I've got a couple pre-ordered, good to see how nice they look with a bit of weathering.
