Georgeconna Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Another Bit Done Tonight: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Another Small bit done last night, Added the Tension lock Couplers on one end. I drilled a hole in the Chassis floor, One through the Coupler and one through the Resin Fuel Tank. I inserted a Brass rod down through the Chassis, Coupler and Fuel Tank which gave the coupler some Articulation. I tested it afterwards and it did work Satisfactorily. Heres some pics. Video test run here for those on FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=588075687943915¬if_t=like Needs a clean up now and then a bit of paint.

Horsetan Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Looks very good indeed. No Irish layout from the 1950s onward would be complete without one of these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Flying along with this one, A Testament to the Kit Designer. The final additions were to assemble the footsteps, Waterfiller pipes and the Door Handles, Each were soldered on using different temp solder. I then primed it using Phoenix precision etch Primer so all going well the painting will begin!! Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVSNE Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Very, very nice work. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the unpainted locomotive (looks like a Ten Wheeler, but hard to tell on my iPhone!) a few posts back? Marty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVSNE Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Very cool engine - completely unlike our steam engines in the States, even of the same vintage. And thanks for the link, I've bookmarked it! Now, back to your wonderful coach! Marty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
