Today a bit more time has been spent on the Op project. More work on the underframe has been completed, with the addition of some microstrip to enhance its appearance. I couldn’t help think that it was looking a bit on the weedy side.

The cut outs in the headstock/ underframe has now been completed and just require a general clean up to remove any final swarf, debris and tweak with a file to complete. Another W iron has also been fabricated.

Pictures show progress of the wagon so far sat on a pair of ‘O’ gauge disc wheels sets prior to turning down to size and gauge.
