Ive made a start on some new bits. In the photos (if I’ve said these in the right order)

304/1 BDTS

975025 inspection saloon

Bulleid corridor composite

Ironclad 2 car push pull (just the one coach photographed)

Trailer composite for a 4-CEP

 

Next for me for the Bulleid and Ironclad is to add the footboards

Forgot to photo as well SR EMU underframe for 2 SUB motor coaches. Added the floorboards then the trussing today along with trussing for the Bulleid coach. 

Found that the Ironclad end moulds needed upgrading but needed new ends which I’ve also done recently

Got a bit further with the 304 and also the Flatrol’s. I’ve been adding some underframe boxes and also some end steps/handrails. Had to fettle one on the smaller boxes on the MBS where it’s sits on the trussing. 

Added a few more bits to the flatrols.

Hello, out of interest what motor and gearbox do you use? I am building a pacer and a sprinter and want to hide the motor as best I can.

I needed to push on with a couple of 4-SUB motor coaches, looking at my original driving end thought it would save me time in the long run to modify it and add the jumper sockets etc. Ready for moulding next once Christmas break over with.

Over the Christmas period, decided to catch up with a few of my own things that hadn't got round to finishing for several years. I'd had a part built Slaters CCT which still needed the sprung axleguards in place along with the axleboxes. Also needed the window bars and buffers adding. All I've left now to do is add couplings and the vac/steam pipes. Hopefully won't be so long on that. Also pictured is the Platforms for an ABS BR Brakevan, another one that was part finished, just need to paint the roof and add the side airpipes now. The straight pieces of wire are corridor handrails for a Westdale tin 2-HAL, still need to glue in place and finish the underframe on that one though.

I'd glued the sides, roof and ends together on the SUB motor coaches, marking and drilling roof first. Rubbed down the gutter on the roofs as the gutter is higher up and started the process of filling and rubbing and repeating till smooth, no doubt will see the misses once paints on it.

Also showing the pic of the nearly completed ABS brakevan

Very nice - can you get the etchings for a 308 version?

I've had back the etches for the as built 308/1 (refurbished at least the Driving trailer which had the toilet in was modified), Also this covers the 308/3 version. I've pretty much done the 308/2 MLV drawing. Haven't seen any drawings for the 308/2 rebuilt MLV apart from what's in the diagram book.
