sb67 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Enjoyed the work on the 08. As you say the drybrushing is a simple thing and it adds to the overall effect. It's always good to know there's a remedy if things are overdone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 A few minor jobs to the steel wagon. Fixed the buffers so they no longer rotate causing derailments, replaced the missing brake pipes, tried to straighten the sides again. Just need to source some handbrake wheels 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
