I have had some Worsley Works etches in the kit stash for a while, so I thought I’d have a shot at building one. This is a 45 foot Diagram 35 full brake, first lot built 1897. Worsley Works only provide the basic body, though it is a very accurate and nicely etched set. Slots for the guards duckets do need widening a little.  The builder supplies the rest.

Bogies are Comet 8 foot SR pattern converted to Drummond style by removing the top flange and adding small inserts to give the curved lower edge. Footsteps are fabricated from scrap etch. Other parts are from the bits box, but most could be sourced from 51L

I have used the magnetic side technique again, though I found I needed a couple of extra magnets towards the ends of the sides to pull them in smoothly. Won’t be visible in service. The internal half partitions forming the guards compartment add  stiffness.

The D 35s were built dual braked braked and had a through steam pipe, makes the coach ends rather crowded. There was a gas fired heater and the seat in the guards compartment lifted in the style of a commode with a wc under it. Luxury,

Time for a spot of primer.
