I blame this on Larry (coachman) of this parish. If he did not keep producing such inspirational coaches this would of remained in the box, where has sat for a few years.
What we have here is a Connoisseur Models, S&DJR full brake. This is yet again a model in need of rescuing. I was given this as a very badly paint model. After removing the paint, guess what, it was badly mad too. parts still had the half etch tags still on, too much solder, you get the picture.
I stripped it down to rebuild but it got stuck in a box, It has now resurfaced and the rebuild has begun.
I do have a Slaters six wheel carriage chassis to use with it, but are unsure whether I will or just use my normal sliding centre axle.
As you can see I have fitted the drop lights, and hinges. The steps at one end. I will attatch most of the hand rails before building the body.
I think at the painting stage there will be a few dinks and dents to sort out. I do not do many coaches so it will be good practice, as I have some more to do including. Blacksmiths version of this Brake.
Thats it for now more coming up soon.
