enginelane Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 A very rewarding day working with 92 primary kids at the Hepworth Wakefield and winding down by some modelling whilst listening to England playing yet again an "experimental" team. Added sides and bolsters pieces to create the more open grid that is a feature of this particular type of wagon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 The livery is supposed to be the bauxite / brown before EWS etc and this chocolate brown will form the base layer on which to then develop the layers of weathering than has built up. The wagon without ends etc is very simple rugged and hopefully the paint and powders will develop this feel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Bogies assembled and checking against another wagon ride is correct so can now complete the detailing. It is a very slab like wagon so the weathering and load is what will be the make or break of its visible success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wagon in final assembly and weighted up to 120 gms so should stay on the curves. Load needs to have additional paint, white stripes to indicate where the load should sit and looking at prototype images the end of the bufferbeams have a dirty yellow stripe adding to them. Kadees and all steel carriers need transfers to complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 There will not be much room in the car on holiday this year but hoping to squeeze in enough materials to have a crack at this and then the Troutons steel carriers will be complete! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon47603 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Detail inside the scrapyard. The crusher is scratch built body on an Airfix tank transporter trailer chassis. The shears is scratch built from plasticard. There are 504 individual cubes of cooking foil. Comments were made that scrap was too shiny but it seems these days the demand is so high that it does not stay in the yard long enough to get really rusty after being crushed but any details re workings of such a yardvarevwelcomed. Great Thread and layout, can't believe I've missed it until now. On the Scrap Cubes, I would say that they should be dirty, but not rusty and very smelly! They wouldn't be sat around for long as you mention as their is high demand for this type of scrap. Have I mentioned the smell, there very smelly!

enginelane Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 During coffee break Chris put his latest creation on Troutons. Looks great and I am sure will prove to be an interesting and well received loco on the roster at exhibitions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) A little early morning modelling before work but due to leaving the wagon at the edge if the table and weighted up to 100gm the laws of friction and gravity came into play when I knocked the table and will need a new bogie and side stanchions. When will I understand about the Laws of Physics! However last of the weathering powders in place along with the white lines on the bolsters to help the crane drivers line up the load Edited June 11, 2014 by enginelane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer73 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Class 60 Teenage Spirit has had first weathering done few finishing touches to do then the glazing and cab interiors to go back in and get some pics on Troutons then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
