decauville1126 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If you can advise what scale it is then it might help the identification trail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5050 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It doesn't look like the Omega underframes that I have built in recent times. Somehow I gained possession of a job lot many years ago and they sat in my 'stash' for ages until a year or so back when I decided I needed some underframes for some spare open wagon bodies I'd obtained. After building a couple of them I realised that the reason they were 'free' was that they were possibly rejects! The etching was not at all good and some small parts were really bad. However, I persisted and, with a coat of suitable grimy paint, they look passable. Just don't look to hard when they go past! I've also got a set of instructions for them issued by Kean-Maygib (hence the current Gibson connection I suppose) and it is recommended that they are assembled with superglue. I used solder!
