Back to working on the Finney kit today
so far i have built up the sides & ends only using solder.I have just given them a wash
& once i have had lunch i hope to get the 4 parts solded to getter
one of the jobs this week is a Martin Finney LSWR low roof van kit Dia 1410 & as i do not normally build wagons i have put this build in My Blog
so far i have got the chassie to a rolling stage & there are 26 parts to it
the build is taking a lot longer than it takes me to build a coach as the kit Can build to any of 3 Diagrams which can have any of 5 brake types & 2 axle boxes so just finding the part takes longer than fitting it
the one i am building is to dia 1410 fitted with morton brakes & panter axle boxes
One of todays jobs is building up the radiaters for the 23 & them fitting them
Well i got them built & fitted
there when together better than i had expected
next is to get the body to fit the skeleton then its down to fitting the white metal nose, bonit, windows & cab roof
