I was getting a little stale with all that soldering and fussing around with th chassis for the 2-8-2, so with some 20 thou' Evergreen sheet bought from Trains4U and armed with a pair of scissors, digital vernier, scriber and steel rule I copied the rear platform sheeting and cab doors from my Bachmann standard 5.

Most satisfying, the styrene sheet glued almost instantly with EMA Plastic Weld.

 

Driver and Fireman's seats next then handrails :D

 

EDIT:

 

I've just become a rivet counter! Looking at this photo

I seem to have made the doors etc too tall, the top of the door should be 2 rivets up from the window bottom, mine are three.

 

Out with the Swann Morton tonight :lol:
