Hi.

I am in the process of finishing off a GWR pannier tank. It is from a set of etches I got from Dave Berry shortly before he pass away. It seems that the etches were for a multitude of pannier tanks, so it was a case of making sure I only used the ones I needed.

I do not know when it was drawn but it was very old style, needing a lot of fitting and fettling, an aid to scratch, but saying that it sat on the drawing well.

The chassis is in nickel silver but quite thin. It all went together well apart from one major problem, the bearing holes did not match the coupling rods, after a lot of checking it was found the chassis was wrong as the coupling rods matched the outside frames.

I have made the frake rigging detatchable as I normally do, wheelswould of been impossible to remove otherwise especially as they screw onto the axle.

Well as you can see in the pictures I need to add the pickups and wire the motor to it all. The pickups will be the wiper type rubbing on the treads at the top of the wheel. With the outside frame theyare well hiden.
