Started the Class 37 Railfrieght livery build this afternoon.
Couple of photos showing progress so far, not happy with the nose end or how the front windows have fitted, I've gone wrong somewhere.
Like all card kits you down load though....print it off and try again
Peter did say a friend of his had tried the loco on a rolling chassis and it did work, you do have to chop the kit chassis about a bit to fit, but I think once I get it sorted it will look really effective.
It looks like I wil have to get the Deltic now and have a go at that!
Thanks for the Link Chris!!
Cheers
Ian
Ian. I must say that you are doing a splendid job on the build. The areas you are having difficulties with will be overcome with practice in those areas. On design and tests, these areas were the hardest to get right, but a little bit of trimming and what i like to call "paper torture" {making paper do what it doesn't want to do} these things can be overcome. I know this must be a first for a card model build of this kind of Locomotive, there aren't anymore out there as i know of. I will always strive to upgrade and improve my designs, and when possible, add more models to the list. Time and Health decide how and when these things happen. Looking great Ian ! Regards. Pete.
