This is what I have been up to tonight, still more spacers to add before the stiffening angles get rivetted and added.
-
Ready for varnish and glazing then tis done.
-
More done now. Just the coupling hook link plates then onto the axle boxes/ W irons.
-
A bit more done tonight, a few more of these bits left to put on.
-
Pretty good effort tonight. The other half then I need to do the bridge as the upper board needs checking against the bridge prior to fixing in place.
-
Thanks. The 4 degrees came from someone else on here who was building one. I appreciate the help.
-
So what should the spacings be? I could very easily be wrong, trying to work out a formula that I don't normally use late at night is not a great idea.
-
kind of answered my own question. 70ft real dia. divided by 43.5, gives 490.423 once converted to mm, divided by 360 degrees is 1.3622mm per degree so 4 degrees is 5.449 or 5.45mm spacings nearest damn it.

Does anyone know what spacing the chairs of the race rail should be at?
-
A bit more done on the old transfers. Cant say I enjoy putting them on.
-
A bit more done tonight. Body is taking shape now.
-
The photo isn't clear but with the arrival of the transfers I commissioned, I can finish my LMS full brake. They read "Load not to exceed 8 Tons equally distributed."
-
Also marked out and drilled fir the tank fillers and fitted this.
-
Finally happy with the roof overhang, got a replacement and sorted it tonight.
-
Some daylight shots. False light doesn't do it justice. Still to add the rest of the transfers.
-
Lining it didn't go to plan. Here she is. Some light weathering to the body and now awaiting transfers and glazing. Apologies for the bloody awful light.
-
Must have similar interests. I too have a dia. 2102 kit.
-
Thanks David, I may well need it.
-
And great they look too but let's keep this relevant to my topic please.
-
Maybe in about 10 years for me, after I've finished my other kits...
-
Doest look like much but this is the start of an mmp 109 16t mineral wagon. I actually have three of these to do and an ex lms design version too.
-
That's the joints glued with PVA the next step will be to get the race rail in place.
-
A bit of touching up to do before I do the unthinkable and attempt lining it
-
I've just tried my aerosol that arrived from precision paints today. My word, life is complete. It took a few minutes to paint the ends of my coach rather than an hour or more with all the clean up of using an air brush!
-
I've fitted the hooded vents and cut the roof to size tonight. Not sure if I'm happy with the roof overhang.
