The H26 is progressing nicely, with the chassis now almost finished and bogies fitted. Just need to adjust the 6 tanks now all of which are too long.

 

I also posed the h/6 against one of its Hawksworth running mates to see if I could live with the height error on a "layout coach", I can't stand the huge solebar, so I will now set to removing the brackets and rebuilding the ends using a set from my large window first.

 

While waiting on the glue to dry I had a play with a Kirk Monster, the roof was always a poor fit. It's now been removed and the ends carefully re profiled to get a better fit between roof and sides. It now just needs gluing in place when I next head out to the garage and it will be ready for paint.blogentry-54-0-48503700-1478362096_thumb.jpg

Those bogies look good, and they mean business - pretty substantial ones compared to the scrawny Dean ones I'm used to :-)

 

My sympathies on the solebar issue. For me the worst part is always that undecided phase when you can't make up your mind whether to live with it or go back and fix it. I think you're right to change it, it does look a bit too tall to ignore.

 

Amazing how good the old Kirk kits still look.
