Progress of 47768
Well continuing what I was mentioning from my Other entry, I have made progress of my model of 47768 in RES livery by Vitrains. Im not sure if I added to my workbench over here, but ill list all the stuff ive done to it so far.The usual detailing was in the Form of Shawplan pipes. Heljan ETH socket, and scratch built jumper socket made from plastic tube and wire and plasticard. The footsteps are those cascaded from my Baccy 57 chassis to replace the rather small and feeble ones ( well they are in my opinion!) that Vi trains supply to stick into a well near the bottom. Also not being convinced with the High Intensity headlight I replaced that with a Replica item, and did so both ends. Also I did a decent job of detailing the Underframe tanks, but eventually I gave into temptation of adding the Heljan item ( Thanks Dan!) which to me is a much better representation of the Tanks! The glazing im still pondering on how to replace after failing with the Heljan Glazing so im wondering if a Manufacturer *Could* maybee perhaps produce Etched window frames for this model which could be laid over the exisiting moulded framing, and then after all is glued into place clear sheet could be added to the inside!!
Then theres those lights that need doing!
