westerner Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Some progress on converting the ballast wagon. Sides made and are being test fitted. when Happy i will do the rivets, lots of them???? but to quote Baldrick I do have a plan. The dots by the way are to make sure I fit the sides to correct sde of the wagon after fettling. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westerner Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 I actually used thick superglue on the end of a cocktail stick for my rivets about 50% successfully as far as straight lines go. As to the article in RM now that I've seen it I must say I'm more than pleased with the way RM have presented it. 16 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
