After a somewhat late night yesterday evening getting them finally assembled, the two chlorine tanks are now finished.
Here are a couple of photos.
Overall I am really pleased with the way these have turned out. They have taken a lot of effort to build, mainly in the initial etch design and the painting and final assembly stages because they are such complex vehicles. I have also discovered a few tolerance adjustments that will be included in any future builds.
As Association members will know, the AGM and annual competitions were held today and the chlorine tanks along with the semi-bulk bromine tanks and a brake van won the John Barker trophy. Mr Smith of this parish also returned home with a considerable and well deserved haul of silverware.
It was great to catch up with friends today too and see four lovely 2mm Finescale layouts for the same very reasonable price.
Finally, a note of thanks to Dave Millward for kindly supplying measurements plus a DVD of a video that he took showing one of these tanks at Embsay from every conceivable angle.
