Prometheus Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Just completed and probably half-a-century old, a £15 purchase a year or so back that had been nagging to be concluded. The self adhesive sides had held up pretty well except for just a little shrinkage on one. The roof was hopelessly warped however and hot water wouldn't shift it an inch. Superglue has held it flat however. I added etched door handles and grabrails to lift the extremely flush sides and the lettering and branding is by [the excellent] Railtech. The whole unit is extremely free running. Why bother at all? Well, only because I didn't have a Collet PBV and didn't fancy attempting a brass one. I also rather like 'heritage' modelling.....

I've got numerous wagon and coach kits to build from when I was fifteen. Some 35 years ago now! I'm working my way through them but have had to build a layout to prod myself into actually doing it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
