cosa200 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Dear all I'm in the process of building a southern region parcels van in O by slaters, but i am having a bit of trouble with the grab handles, when I have drilled out the holes, one side is on the left hand door, and the other seems to be on the right hand door, has anyone built one? and if possible could you load a few pics on your reply, or PM me. Also underneath, that looks a bit of a minefield, would like to see a few pics of that as well. Thank you in advance Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Alan You haven't said which kit - parcels type you are building. There are numerous photos of the different types in my collections here http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/sr?customize=2 The doors have grab handles on the right, but quite a lot of other handles, locks etc. Paul Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is like the 4mm Ratio kit, quite a complex build, with the sides weakened by so many doors. Paul Bartlett Paul Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Here you go: The wet bits are where I've done a bit of patch paints as Mrs Boris has done some cleaning and splashed the coach with something noxious that has taken some of the paint off. I must find out what it is because the effect on the bodywork is actually quite good! Anyway, the first photo is the underframe between the bogies, the second photo shows a modification I did to the brake pull rod so they go into the bogie, rather than just hanging in space or not being there at all (as per the instructions!). Its just a loop of wire that the end of the pull rod sits in, giving plenty of tolerance for the bogie to turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello Alan l built the large southern bogie wagon from slater's about two year's ago, l wouldn't say l enjoyed it, as the kit's instructions were poor, and most of the parts had to be cleaned and filed to fit, and had to search the net for photos of the real thing to finish the model, (here it is on Andrew P's St Budoc layout) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosa200 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks for the photos boris. You are right george, i have made 400+ kits etc(oo gauge, 40+ in o gauge)) in my time, this has to be the worst for instructions, and to be honest, im not enjoying building the thing. Thanks again to everyone who replied. alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
