I am of the habit to start a project enthusiastically and then to gradually abandon half completed projects.
This time I am determined to complete and have powered on to complete the construction side of things...
The side pipe was attached (on the wrong side initially as is the custom) and handle attached to the hatches. The catwalk located holes were filled ready for a scratchbuilt replacement.
The side pipe is .8mm brass rod. It is linked to the gauge using fuse wire. B
I have posted bits and bobs of this project elsewhere but it has been a while since I have blogged anything and I wanted record the progress with a "lockdown" project.
Back in January I was given two Dapol LMS brake vans by my Dad. They were missing bits but he thought I might want to do something with them.
Both were missing roofs and one missing an inner door panel. The plan was to revive at least one which I did, replacing handrails and scratch building a roof.
