Bubble Car and O2 lining

Where did the last fortnight go?

 

Some progress with the bubble car. Second end finished. Just waiting for the handrails to arrive courtesy of Southern Pride and 'courier'. Think I'll have to lower the original end a bit looking at the photo. Got the High Level lo-rider power bogie installed finally. Was a bit of a struggle as I'd cut off most of the Lima mounting bits when I originally built it. Anyhow, it seems to fit now, though I haven't tried it under power yet. I think it looks alright though.

 

Managed to make headway on lining the other side of the O2. Just the numbering to do and the last bits of black on the valance. Yes I will clean up the tank sides (looks like some methfix residue still clinging). Oh, and the motor arrived so I can think about pickups and finishing off.

 

As for layout progress, don't ask! There isn't any (although I did look at the baseboards earlier today, but that doesn't really count!).

Hi, the 122 bubble car is coming along nice, I take it that this is a Craftsman conversion kit ? also out of interest were did you purchase the High level bogie from and what price are they ?

 

Best regards

Yes, it's a very old Craftsman kit. See earlier posts for pics of the original wrapping.
