Bratchell NSE Class 456 - a quick-build project - part 2

Continuing on with the Bratchell class 456, I have now fitted the underframe details as supplied in the kit.

 

I have posed the nearly complete unit with the Bratchell class 455/8 on my layout, although this is a little bit of a cheat, since neither unit has yet been fitted with end couplings!

Hi. 

 

I intend to use Kadees, probably in conjunction with Parkside NEM mounts on extensions from the bogie pivot points. However this will take a little bit of experimentation. I could also try Kadees mounted directly under the bodies, but I suspect I will have trouble with the tighter (radius 3) curves on my layout.

The 456 will remain a 'dummy' unit for the time being, but I may possibly motorise it at a later date. As such, the 455 will provide the power for the present time.

Classes 313 - 315 and 507 - 508 would be nice but, at the current time, none are readily available in 4mm scale that I know of. I would happily run a 508 (or two) on my layout.

Thanks for the compliment. :)
