So far so good with building the first of the wagons from my recent etch - a 1957 vintage Hurst Nelson Chlorine tank.
I was impatient to try out the experimental version so that's what I'm building. So far it is going together as intended and the centre section of the solebars has achieved the skinny look that I was hoping to get when viewed from the top and the chassis seems very strong because it's got metalwork in all of the places where the real thing has metalwork.
The extra bits of metal at the ends are to hold everything in place during chassis assembly and will be cut away quite soon.
There are still plenty more challenges ahead, particularly assembling the complex ironwork that restrains the tank ends and attaching the complex end stanchion assembly to the underframe without unsoldering stuff that is already attached.
