ECC TDA Slurry Tank Conversion


The Fatadder

645 views

Back in 2009 I started work on building a TDA slurry tank, while these were not actually used in Cornwall (instead dedicated to Quidhampton), the other Quidhampton slurry tanks did appear in Cornwall (and I rather liked the prototype.)

 

The initial stages of the build are covered here, http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=74&start=575 on the old forum.

 

This is what the prototype should look like

Picking up where I left off the first job was to add the angled sections at the ends, with the sides added from 40thou cut to shape and then a top from 20thou. (Having superglued the bogie retaining bolts into place.

 

It now needs the end handrails adding, buffers and a roof walkway. I also need to work out where I put the bogies when I last worked on it back in 2009...
