New load for Bachmann PW motorised cranes

[fozzy280472]

Finally decided I'd had enough of the rubbish metal " load " fitted to the Bachmann motorised permanent way crane .

It all came about when my youngest daughter asked why there was a lump of what looked like blu tack stuck inside it . Time for a change !

I made a plasticard box to surround the motor and glued Peco concrete sleepers all round and over , the sides were tricky sticking tiny offcuts of sleeper , plenty stuck to my fingers .

Once all dry and set I spray painted the assembly and picked out the sleeper chairs in rust colour ...hey presto ....finished.

I did think about adding weight but seeing as all it does is drag a unmotorised tamper around I didn't bother.

Hope it's of some interest...not very prototypical but then the actual model isn't either !

Looks good.

 

I make the load 48 sleepers.

What's the pay load for this vehicle?

Thanks for the comments chaps , I think it looks a bit better too , although Gordon ,I haven't got a clue what the loading is , like I said an unprototypical load for an unprototypical vehicle !!

To a untrained eye, it looks OK so it must be OK.
