Denby's Kit build workbench - 009 Tri-art on the way

[DenbyModeller]

I've decided to post some of the kits I've bought over Lockdown as I build them starting with these 009 3D kits I've recently bought off E-Bay

[DenbyModeller]

Just got them painted up with some Hycote gloss black for the bufferbeam and running plates, and Tamiya Maroon for the main bodies(it is actually darker than it looks in the photos). Still some bits left to add on; handrails, nameplates, coupling pieces made from some bent wire and I want to touch up the paint in some areas. for a comparison in size I decided to place them next to my new Fairlie loco.

had my 009 steam engine running on our club layout Gwynedd, hopefully it will be running during our exhibition in March.

Been some time but finally back.

I have been getting on with a load of 009 kits recently when I heard about the Quad-arts coming out of ClarkRailworks and i made me wonder about narrow gauge articulated sets, and I couldn't find any so I decided to make my own using some Dundas Models Ffestiniog bogie coaches, the Jacobs bogie in the center had to be lengthened to accomodate the tight radius of the layouts they will run on

[DenbyModeller]

Got the coaches painted up, they will need a bit of touching up but so far they have come up well

[DenbyModeller]

Finally got round to doing the third coach and got them weighed slightly to make them run a bit better just got to put the glazing in and put the couplings and roof on.

Very nice concept and model! The articulated bogie does look a bit sparse, but I like it nonetheless.

I've started building my own freelance steam locomotive which will be a 4-6-4 tender and will have the appropriate name of "Titan", although unrealistic for british narrow gauge it probably wouldn't look too out of place for else where in the world.
