The on going saga of my first attempt at etch design lumbers forward once again. Modifications include -

 

1) Finally I created some axle boxes and springs. Layer etch, Stephen Harris style.

2) Brake rigging/rib issues have been resolved. They don't clash anymore!

3) Beefed up wire on pivot bar, 0.5mm wire from 0.3mm.

4) Clever tab system to line up hopper doors.

 

It might see production next year, if the slow rate of progress continues dry.gif

Perseverance young man.

Save to say once you've got the beastie sorted, you'll have some customers :drinks:

Congratulations Bryn!

 

It was worth it in the end and the wagon looks fantastic. I could easily take a few of those kits off your hands if you ever decide to sell them on...

 

Missy :yes:

Thank you, one and all!

 

I think it needs at least two more test etches before the final version is available for sale. Current issues include finding buffers to suit the prototype, but as Andy M pointed out, Farish do something that might be suitable. I currently have some old Farish steam/08 buffers I will test in the final etch.

 

Nick - the 3 way is up and running well! Thanks for asking. I finally got there :lol:

Nice work Bryn - you've certainly persevered with this one!

 

I'll join the queue to take a few off your hands when they're ready!

Well done Bryn - it must be wholly satisfying to look at that as the Author starting from a CAD drawing.
