I've recently been making progress with detailing the Barclay.

Some handrail knobs are included in the kit, but I noticed from photos that the Barclays have a quite distinctive, very plain, tube instead of the more "normal" shape. I made these out of microbore copper tube drilled through. By filing all the ends to length together whilst threaded onto a piece of handrail wire I got quite consistent results.

I used a combination of card and masking tape to hold these in place whilst I soldered them in place, same with the door handles.

The end result. Also in place now are the strips along the tops of the doors (to retain them and keep the water runoff out) and the short sections of angle iron to retain the doors at the bottom. I ran out of etched angle, so used some 4mm bullhead rail with the back and one head filed off to make a small "L" section.

Attention turned to the fuel tank - I didn't like the casting for the top hatch, so bodged up a replacement from washers. Detalis of the hinge and fastening were scraps of strip pinned together, as was the top fixing for the exhaust pipe. Breather pipe is a piece of wire. .

The tank - complete for now. Some photos I have seen hint at a lifting lug on top of the tank - I'll scour 'tinternet for a detail shot, but this area seems to be little photographed

Horns were supplied as a white metal casting, which bent when I looked at it too hard. I planned to remake this using scrap etch for the bracket and MMP brass castings, but these seemed just a little bit too fine and liable to damage, so I made up some horns by flaring out the top of some copper tube with a centre punch.

A small "V" was taken out of the base to allow wire to be connected to represent the air tubing.

Soldered up it doesn't look too bad - a bit clumsy, but I'll paint them black to make them less conspicuous

It took a lot trial and (mostly) error before I got the horns to be parallel and at a height that looked right.

The cover plate on the bonnet was held off with cardboard and masking tape as before whilst the "fixing bolts" were soldered on. These were cut off and filed to a consistent height by using a piece of scrap etch with a hole drilled in to keep the top proud whilst i filed.

Current state of play.
