Bolster the effort!
Okay I'll refrain form silly titles... nah I'll continue really.
Anyway, my little stint weathering my friends pannier got me in the modelling mood again. So, rather than sitting there idle dreaming about my modelling future. I did something. And here's the result.
I'm planning four different types of block freigt trains for possible future use on my clubs layout. An oil trian, coal train, van train and finally a bolster train. As with most of BR steam era trains, despite being a block working wagons were always different, this I aim to represent by building kits & modifying rtr. Which I have done here. A Bogie Bolster C from good ole Wachy Bachy, modified to be a BR built example.
You can see the full difference between the un-modified one and the new and "improved one"
The photo explain themselves about the modifications I did. But I used different bits, stipes and rods of plasticard and rearraging the v hangers and original braking gear. If you have any more specific questions please don't hesitate to ask.
