Stour Valley Dream - more brakes


Fen End Pit

Following on from my 3D printed brakes for sprung coach bogies I slightly modified the model to fit on a Bill Bedford sprung W-iron etch. This was for a 14mm diameter wheel. I printed them in batches of 5 so I can break one per wagon!

They fit quite nicely over the W-Iron.

I've been thinking that the Scalefour society might try the tag line 'Taking nice OO gauge models and cutting large holes in them'. At least that is the case with this Hornby ex-LMS horse box I've been working on!

I've still got to actually stick the new sprung W-irons in place but it is currently able to roll along with a bit of springing.

 

I'll post more once I have things glued up and re-assembled.

Very neat arrangement and no risk of shorting. Don't forget to trim the bottom of the etched W irons.
