Popular Post Prometheus Posted April 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2023 I've long since mislaid my original posts on this from over a year ago but my build is now finished. It was ridiculously ambitious with enormous amounts of cut & shut and fitting, and the chassis frames were a problem too. It's not perfect, the panelling that the GWR didn't alter isn't modelled [a bridge too far], but it is recognisable from those few photos of the prototype that can be found. The coach comprises parts from two Airfix Autotrailers, heavily modified outside chassis frames from a K's LNWR Full Brake and a fair bit of scratch-building. The bits box, as ever, took a hit. It rides on a Brassmasters Cleminson chassis, which was a joy to construct and is amazingly flexible. I never want to make one of these again. I have never seen a model of one either, perhaps others took a more sensible view.... The original [one of a pair]. Photo source unknown. Believe me, you have no idea just how relieved I am that it's completed. Tony 13 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
