RMweb Premium 31A Posted November 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2014 One thing these images show (and there are some cracking Ladykiller ones earlier in this thread that Michael posted that show some colour and weathering to good effect), is how the 'London Trader' doors are differentiated from the body side. It's one of those things that bug me when I see the RTR versions on layouts.... all the outside detail is there, but the opposite side is a flat wall. Cheers Jan Quite agree; I (usually remember to!) scribe the door outlines inside my Bachmann ones, using a Plastikard jig: The long side goes to to the bottom with the left hand corner against the left hand corner of the wagon. Scribe round two sides of the outline of the side door. Slide the jig across so that the right hand corner is in the right hand corner of the wagon, and scribe round two sides of the top flap. Turn the jig inside out and do the same for the remaining side of each door, then repeat on the other side of the wagon. I don't think I've got a jig for the end door top but usually just cut one from a piece of scrap 40 thou lying on the bench. Here's a couple I did earlier - factory weathered ones as it happens, although I have painted the insides! Not worked out a way of representing the insides of the pressed steel side doors yet! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Shows a feature I've never been able to replicate successfully, the bowed out sides, very noticable under telephoto lens. Mike. It would be quite difficult to do, given the thickness of the model sides. I have had some success in puttting bulges in the centre of panels, however, by belting them with the warmed, rounded, end of a ball-pein hammer.

The LMS 13tonner appears to have been completely resheeted - and the wood unpainted, which is correct until after 1958. The metalwork appears to be a very consistent colour but appears to be too dark to be in BR freight grey. Could it have rusted so consistently?
