It's a solder up job, parts from the etch sheets, the bottom sheet in the above photos is the main chassis frame, bogies frames are also on the etch sheets. Eoin.

Purchased many years ago when they were offered, discussed many times over the intervening years and now, and now!.......... Eoin

It's just unreal, poor girl

I'm assisting a chap to build one of these kits, thought I'd throw up a few photos here as wrennie's photos above, have disappeared;- Eoin

June's Fair Date;-

These chaps may have an 071 in the future, they posted a thread on here some time back https://shop.bowatersmodels.co.uk/collections/coras-iompair-eireann Eoin

071 was made by Hells Kitchen models in Wolverhampton, yes, I think about 10 kits were built? might have been more but limited! Resin body and etched brass chassis n bogies Eoin

In the workshop for repair;- SSM kit with extra detailing built by KMCE Eoin

@murphaph Their made up by myself Eoin

If this unit has been put together in usual SF manner, the body is glued to the chassis. Usually done with impact or UHU adhesives, so out with the scalpel and cocktail ticks to open it up- insert the scalpel in the join of body and chassis and carefully slide it along to try and cut the glue, as you proceed insert the sticks behind the blade as you move along. You may find molded parts in the join on the body side which will hinder the blade- their push-pull unit had four of these, 2 on each side, force will break these so go carefully....... You can see the broken moldings on the chassis edge here on the DVR I installed a NS angle at each end of the body with a captive nut soldered in, to screw the chassis back on, allowing for easy opening up in the future.

???? This is how I would push/adjust that photo. The photo is low resolution, better results can be achieved with higher resolution files. Eoin

Same here, my impression from this image was pale, pale blue!!
