Collett Goods in P4 - Part 5 - chassis complete
Evening all
after a very inspiring but tiring day at Scalefour North yesterday, I found time to make a little progress on the Collett Goods today.
The tender chassis is virtually complete and just needs the vacuum tank adding before its ready for the paint shop.
The loco chassis now has pick ups too (36gauge phosphor bronze mostly hidden behind the steps) and bus bars with the final connection to the motor now in. I'm pleased that the CSB's are working well, even on the rear driven axle.
I managed to pick up a belpaire backhead from 247 Developments so I can now concentrate on the loco body detailing; I'm not going to do much because strangely I want to keep the essence of the Replica original, so it'll just be a smokebox dart, brass handrails and a loco crew.
Just debating what paint finish to give it...
