Happy with my first brass kit build. The lovely SSM Wickham Inspection Car.

Few pics of the build..

Super! I am tempted by one of these myself, so it's good to see one nicely built and painted.

Is it motorised? If not, do you think it could be?

Excellent work. Always good to see people tackling brass stuff. Great result.

Cheers.. I built it unpowered, plan to leave it dumped in an over grown siding.. The instructions do mention that it is possible to motorise using a Black Beetle Motor Bogie, but they seem to be difficult to source.

Oh my sweet giddy aunt.  That really looks fantastic.   Well done sir, well done!       I was marvelling at your interior work, and had forgotten that when I designed the kit that it included all this detail.

@Mol_PMB   Yes, the kit is designed to be able to take a 35mm wheelbase Black Beetle.  I bought one for test fitting just to make sure.

Some googling shows that you could use a Tenshodo equivalent motor bogie.

Nice one! More power to your soldering iron! Great job with the weathering.

Welcome to the singed fingers club! Really nice work, especially with it being so small and fiddly. Onwards and upwards!
