Hi cg, I used solder & super glue. Use solder for the main structure and super glue for things like the thin strips down the sides also glue the buffers as they will melt if soldered as i found out. You will learn a lot and be impressed with the end result. Good luck and let us see it when it's done.

That's very nice, looks so real & great weathering.

Love the wagons, what make are the open wagons & what grey paint do you use? Look forward to the finish.

Here are some wagons that i have been weathering. This wagon was made with a TTA oil wagon chassis made a bit shorter & bits cut off & MIR beer keg containers. The kegs were made by me from plastic tube cut and all stuck together.

I have been building a brass Park Royal Coach from Worsley Works over the past year. The Bogies used are from Bachmann 36-008A so are the Buffers.Torpedo ventilators are from MJT 2940. The roof was made from plastic with a frame of curved ribbs covered with very thin plasticard. The seating was also made with plastic.
-
Very nice Patrick, they look spot on. Good work.

I see Bachmann have given a date they expect delivery of their Plasser tamper machine, which is around July/August 2014. At last, i have one on order with Hattons for four and a half years. It will be a nice Birthday prescent.

Thanks for all your comments. David the Brakevan chassis is Parkside Dundas 10ft wheel base but i shuold have used 12ft to be correct length. The doors were taken from an old hornby brakevan, but you could make your own.

Hi Dave, I am working on a Worsley Works Park Royal, Here are some pic's. Not a bad kit but you do have to make seats and roof yourself. I will put more pic's on my workbench thread when i get her painted.

Thanks, I got the transfers from studio Scale Models.

Thank's for your kind words. Some of the parts used are as follows. Hooks are by MJT No 2953, Buffers by MJT No 2350 and brakepipes by MJT No 2950. The yellow hand wheels are a brass etch from DC Kits.

They all look fantastic and great pictures. I hope to build one of these sometime in the future and this will be a great help. A great thread many thanks for sharing your work with us.
