Glazing London Transport Q Stock - a Long Overdue Job!
A job I have been putting off for ages and ages is to glaze the various London Transport Q Stock cars. Part of what slows me down is that I like to paint matt black (or dark grey) into the window rebates.
Anyway, I tackled the first two cars of the five car set yesterday, with a Q23 DM and a Q27 Trailer now done. I chose to flush-glaze the windscreens on the DM, and the glue (Krystal Klear) was still wet on the centre screen in the photos - it starts of like a white PVA glue but dries clear.
The close-up shows every blemish in the finish on the Q23 car!
I had hoped to get hold of some flush glazing for these, but Phil Radley didn't answer my initial query (I believe he has not been well in recent times, so maybe he just forgot). I ended up ordering the wrong glazing, so have had to settle for doing things the hard way. The black rebates help disguise the depth of the glazing.
