Bachmann Autocoach bits and bobs
I am building a model of a prototype location in Wrexham NE Wales. Caia Road goods was a small set of sidings along the Wrexham - Ellesmere Cambrian branch.
Before closure in 1962 the mainstay of passenger traffic was made up of 14xx and autocoaches.
Here is a airfix coach being upgraded using the MJT detail kit...
A BR(w) auto coach I built using the comet kit...
And a bargain from Rails of Sheffield bought not so long ago...
I have copied the bits and bobs from the MJT kit to detail the Bachmann coach. The focus is the auto gear under the driver's cab. This connected to the loco amd operated the handbrake. I attempted to source a 3d printed part but lost touch with the seller.
The frame for all the gubbins was scratchbuilt up from plastikard. As it is rather small, I use tamiya extra thin as opposed to my usual EMA.
.5mm brass wire was used for the pivots and small bits of plastikard used for the linkages. Guitar wire was used to form the handbrake screw.
The structure has been primed and will be airbrushed black. A nice little morning project. Making the most of my week off.
