Indomitable026 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I don’t think I’ve seen this one either - very useful revisiting old searches now and again. A 26 with 27 style window rubbers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dubdee/5345764176/in/photolist-99orrS-khSjCY-8KbLFi-iL1hKC-qnMssx-iKYRED-8KwpfJ-hjXGxd-QfYQwX-dB9vPp-8C8W1t-iKZp28-HkVwNA-SctyjA-yQNboL-2b25pT7-bSbKUp-p63enC-2fpntTw-pKsG88-2ivvQzr-oDMnau-2ixsTZ6-L5c5bo-2jcD79P-68343u-2jcNkh4-CbQQWw-2foingB-2jeRVoc-2gKqNGP-6x3dN9-expaeF-2dZpqRa-6x3dk7-2b25uPu-ik3vpn-rQKZn-rkco8j-pM8mQ7-2c84Cin-q4uRtD-37BMzt-nJa8K6-TwvmWf-2jidCqs-2ixbT9e-a7Sc6Y-6fYjqd-GEp99v 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Not too much to report today - it’s mainly been a room tidy up day, a bit of research and some correspondence - something I’ll elaborate on once it’s happened in relation to traction. I'm generally waiting materials at present; tag strips, 22swg tinned copper wire and a gas torch and silver solder. I also need to order yet more rail. In the meantime I’ve been looking a photographs of the building that will form the backdrop. Here’s yet another picture I don’t think I’ve seen before. https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/75/275/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photographic evidence suggests that latterly most if not all 26s had the rubber surrounds - they presumably made replacement of broken windows easier and cheaper given the potentially short remaining service life.

Indomitable026 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 The tag strips have arrived today. The first stage, as I use these as a common bus, is to solder rails down the middle. Nice steady evening job. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this has proved robust over the years - I put exhibition reliability high up my agenda. Just search for tag strips on EBay. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
