Jointed Carriages for the Eastern Counties
Having just finished London & Croydon Railway No.5 'London', (details to follow in another blog soon), I've turned my attention to a long standing ambition to make a kit of W. B. Adams jointed stock for the Eastern Counties Railway.
It's early days but the ends are done and the two sides of the composite section are almost complete. There's still plenty to do and I have a friend kindly etching some elements of the fragile bow springs.
I had hoped that these masters would be suitable for the North Kent stock on the SER but on closer inspection the panelling is different so I will just have to model those next....busy fingers!
So here's the next installment.
The masters for the composite are set into the Chavant. Unfortunately I couldn't fit everything in. There a couple more seat backs and a second end but these will go in the next mould together with the second class side. I did manage to squeeze in a few axleboxes and a wooden buffer for an Adams wagon which will be made in the next couple of months.
The next stage is to mix up, de-gass and cast the first half mould. More pics and an explanation to follow.....
