In between a few projects recently so, this weekend, I enjoyed a stress free few hours assembling this ABS Models GWR Shunters truck.

Sometimes kits can be a labour of lurve and tribulation and this kit is no exception.

 

a bit of a struggle from start to finish.

 

instructions are the equivalent of `jottings in the columns of a comic` and take some fathoming out.

 

not a lot of image info of the real things.

A lot of pre clearing of  flash from parts before assembly.

 

 I opted for a super glue assembly using Gorilla Glue Products with just a smidgin of soldering for the handrails and stancions which are very large split pins.

 

I even made the sprung buffers using the supplied drawing pins........
