The above shows the addition of standard BR split axle boxes from 51L, with springs from MJT. I have adapted Fore Most Models 2 shoe brake gear with Bill Bedford's Brake Safety loops and added 0.6mm brass wire between the V hangers. Adding the Brake levers will finish the fitting of the main components. Then it's some final bits of titivation, adding corner strengthening gussets, door stops, fitting solebar brackets and couplings. It might then be the first of the six ready for the paint shop.........
Very nice... I must get around to _starting_ the first of my six. I need to chose the prototypes first. Out with the Big Book of Great Eastern wagons!
ReplyDeleteThat's looking very nice indeed! The competition clearly has succeeded even by this stage if people are producing results like this!
