RSS Fetcher Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Finished! The cruel camera aside, I'm quite pleased with it. What I am doing at the moment, aside from drawing up a list of projects for next year, is slowly buying up the more expensive bits of trackwrok required for a small shed scene diorama and (and this I think is quite exciting) gradually going about removing the trainset couplings from my passenger locos and carriages and replacing them with closer-to-scale Buckeye couplers. So far my rake of clerestory stock (5 carriages) and a brakevan have been converted. I'm anticipating being able to convert probably 5 or 6 carriages a month, and there are about 30 carriages at the moment (even before I build any more) to convert. Plus about 15 locos.... Whilst converting the couplings on my clerestory stock I've also decided to completely rebuild them. Although 'good', I was frustrated by the standard of the teak finish, the interior I thought was lacking and the glazing could have been better. So far, I've stripped down one of them, scrapped the interior and discarded the glazing and given it a coat of gloss yellow paint as a base to teak from.
