RSS Fetcher Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Actually something worth posting about tonight (for once says you). This week's collection of snatched half hours has seen 44977 get it's wheels spread to EM, and is currently 90% reassembled. Probably only 4hrs in total, though I wouldn't like to try it in one sitting. Having had (touch wood) reasonable success getting it quartered and ready to test run, I'm a fair bit more confident in attacking 45161 next. I think key to the progress this time has been retention of the original wheels and crankpins. Perhaps I can do similar with some of the Bachmann models. Perhaps I'll stop hedging my bets with the post steam, pre tops period now. I'll write up further details for any interested parties sometime next week. This is it in it's pre-conversion state The weathering has a long way to go, I have to admit that I'm not fully convinced that aspect of the model's on the right track yet, even for a fairly filthy machine. Thoughts welcome, as ever. View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
