chrissixties Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Finally found time to modify a Trackside Foden Balleat Truck as well as ceate a suitable trailer. The original model is rather toy-like but i've always liked the quality of the paintwork and lining which is otherwise so hard to reproduce. As well as changing the Ballest body, window pillars were filed, rear window created and RTI wheels fitted. Just some wing mirrors to add still. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A couple of shots of one of the preserved ones which may help with yours. They show the correct fleet number if you wish to renumber it. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t got around to re-numbering yet but I think it is an improvement. With my limited skills I couldn’t replicate all the detail but I think it now has more of the flavour of the original. Thanks again. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Looks so much better. Not got round to doing mine yet. And I took the pictures years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
