Caledonian Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Some time ago I carried out a rather crude conversion of a BR era ROD to backdate it to one of those lent to the Caledonian Railway. I've now discovered that Bachmann Spares are offering a 1918 body. This is tempting, but can anybody advise what would be involved? Looking at both my original and my existing 1918 version I can see a very small screw at the front, partly obscured by the the forward wheel yoke, and another small one at the back partly obscured by the cabling linking the loco to the tender. The front one is straightforward enough, but the back appears to also secure the drawbar. Is this the case, or is there an entirely different screw I need to locate - and are there only two screws securing the body to the chassis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 That was useful, thank you very much. Looks straightforward enough, but I'm impressed that just two tiny screws are used to secure that big body Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
