Yes, I shall do as much detailing as possible before folding it up. I have the plans/and or photos in one of the volumes on Southern Railway wagons, so hopefully should get everything where it's supposed to go Of course, soldering advice shall come from Ricey's scribblings on the matter in his etched loco construction book. I'm still no committing myself though... They do look a bit long to be just the solebars, maybe they cut up to be the headstocks as well. Sorry for my Sunday morning ramblings, I guess it comes from looking at kits offered on Ebay and trying to work out from the pictures if they look buildable and if they are complete! Good luck with the wagon. John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Band had 7 Drummers in 9 years, haha, the last one started with us at 14 years old, and lasted the last 5 years. He knew all the old classics like Johnny B Goods, Wipe Out, Move it and Alice(who the F .... is Alice), etc as that's all he heard from his Mum and Dad.

RMweb Premium Legend Posted July 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2020 Nice to see a 126 or Edinburgh Glasgow Swindon Unit . I see you are doing the Trix coaches cut and .

The roofs are the right width and profile for Hasting units and scratchbuilding straight sided coaches isn't too hard.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted July 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2020 I have worked out you do not need a Lima chassis. You need a collection of DMU parts. A couple of engine designs, a battery box, radiators, the air or vacuum tanks. Then make moulds and resin cast. This would save me having to aquire Lima chassis. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
