It started as a quick weathering project, it ended almost two months after. A tangent has occurred...
Many years ago I was inspired by Jim Smith-Wright's article of improving the 4mm scale class 25 from Bachmann. The article can be found here. I've yet to see anyone attempt such a project in 2mm, so why not? Here we go!
The first job was the mill the plastic solebar under the cabs back, using photos as a guide and the buffer back plates as limit.
