Hello all, firstly I’m back posting again now that I’ve got more time on my hands, for the time being at least. 
 

Since my last post not much has gone on with the GW carriages I’m kitbashing together, apart from the addition of a third. This begun as a Hornby 4-wheeler, but I have challenged myself to see if I can actually make something half decent from it.

So far this has included reducing the bodyside height by about 3mm. The roof height will also be reduced and flattened to fit a spare roof I have lying around. I have also reduced the chassis height by another couple of mm by removing the old axleboxes and replacing them with ones from a Lima MK1 bogie. Not 100% accurate I know, but once footboards are in place they won’t be that noticeable! See the pic below.

I have also been taking some time to begin building a garden railway, and an extension to my indoor layout, so rest assured there’s plenty more to come over coming days, weeks and months!
