Another project I’ve just started which hopefully can be wrapped up in a couple of parts is putting together a dummy chassis for a Farish Class 37 body I have. I saw these on a group I follow on Facebook.
 

Having purchased some years ago a Farish Class 37 421 body finished in Colas Railfreight livery, which I’ve yet to replacement chassis for, thought making this into a dummy loco isn’t a bad idea. 
 

This kit is 3D printed and comes pretty clean with mainly just the bogie equalising beam needing a little bit of cleaning of the studs from the 3D printing process. 
 

Kit also comes with wheelsets, so everything you need to create the dummy chassis. 
 

After cleaning up the aforementioned moulding studs on the bogie equalising beam, I lightly rubbed over the chassis block with some fine dry and wet to give a key for the paint. However I didn’t have any plastics primer in stock, so decided to spray these directly with some satin black rattle can I had in stock. 
 

So far they look pretty good. So will give this a few days to harden before assembly. 
 

To be continued …
