The LT F Stock trailer construction continued tonight. The side and door sections have been glued together and glued to the roofs. Both cars are still sitting loosely on their underframes.

Has anyone ever wondered what the F Stock from 1920 would have looked like if they had been built in aluminium and left unpainted? Well, here you go!

I suppose the next thing to do is to build the bogies and mount them on the underframes. I could also glue the roof vents into position too.

A curiosity of the F Stock was that those vents proved rather too effective, so were blanked off fairly early in the life of the stock.

There is a small amount of weakness in the centres of the sides, reinforced by the underframes and the tabs and recesses there. Once the interior partitions go in, they will strengthen things further, in spite of the fact that they are fairly soft and flimsy themselves. The whole is stronger than the individual parts.
