Diesel electric D16/2 part 6

I refitted the bogies to the shortened cl45 chassis to which I'd fitted some 3mm channel to form the solebar and to this I added a representation of the brackets to which the lifting lugs were attached, this was given a coat of Tamiya nato black. I cut a length of plastic tube and glued this to the underside of the roof with epoxy. This lined up with a hole drilled in the chassis through which I inserted a 12ba brass screw that tapped its own thread in the tube and held the body in place, the 3mm channel on the sides served to support the body at the right height.

 

So that's about it, here are the photos of the finished model

Nice work Roly.

 

You've captured the look of the prototype well.

 

What will be the next project?

 

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

Blime mate you slipped in there a bit quick! Thanks for the kind words, The next project is already in the pipeline or should I say on Inkscape. I fancy doing a model of the CC1 ' booster' loco. I obtained a copy of the Southern Way special issue which dealt with these in considerable depth. I went to the 0 gauge society exhibition in Reading before Christmas and was really impressed with the amount of detail you can show and to the parts that are available, so I'm going to have a go at this one in plastic card to 0 gauge. Fingers crossed.

I won't be able to use the same techniques as my previous efforts due to the problems with lamination of plastic, so new techniques will have to be tried, this will be a fresh challenge as I've already found out doing a mock up of the roof in cardboard.
