mozzer models

You must have arms like an Orang-utan the speed at which you work Moz! What happened to yesterdays Midland diners....... on thier way to Mr. S...?

 

Aren't these the Highland TPO's that lasted in to BR days? What livery will they get?

 

Larry

 

Hi Larry the diner needs some part wich i need to order to finish it then when Mr S is ready it will be off to him for painting & the all 3rd will be done after i have done this & 2 more TPOs

Asto the Highland TPO yes there did last till at least 1959 I am finishing this one in LMS livery

I have 2 here for re-coupling that you painted 1 in Highland livery 2005 & LMS livery 2004

How did you go on fitting those recessed doors Moz? Also, did you have to roll the etche brass roof?

the way the kit was designed made fitting the doors easy to fit as they had a 90degre fold from the sides to give you the recess the thses had push out tabs to locat the doors

the roof i had to roll but the roof is made up from 5 long etches plus 5 ribs/formers the loow roof was 1/2 etched so was nice tp roll but the clerestory roof was not & was a pig to roll

I wondered why these pictures are not part of your original WB blog on building these models Moz?

 

Coaches are coming long nicely....you are a fast worker! I notice you have fitted "my" pukker Midland Railway 6-wheel bogies (they went to Davids Coaches & Castings then 247).

The customer sent modified couplings to fit to this coach he had removed the bar & hook from the old type honby coupling then put a new bar on one which the hook on the next carrage will not hook under so that when this hook goes over a ramp the hook will release from the modified bar

look good today andy hope all gos well over the weekend
