1st item of stock
Whilst layout ideas are gestating I thought i'd crack on with the first item of stock for the new layout. All the stock will be much bigger than my previous 009 items as the prototype is closer to 3' gauge than 2' in loading gauge.
The first item i decided to build was a full brake coach based on the sides of a Ratio GWR coach kit. I've added plastruct strips to it including the beams beneath the body, the running boards, the bufferbeam, the steps beneath the doors, the entire end panels, window frames, steps, acetylene generator and brake wheel cover.
It's now sat with a coat of Halfords red plastic primer drying on it. Final colour will be citadel colour 'scab red'.
It runs on bogies from an N gauge Tomix TTTE 'Sodor Mail' van.
