First job, was to cut four new pillars to the size required. Supports and hinges were then added to two of the four pillars. Then, it was on to painting. Job done.

As far as I can remember, the kit is designed to have working hinges. I've just added these as a cosmetic detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Excellent work pal. 220 has always been my favorite of the class. The exhaust always sounded a bit different. The gates look amazing too.

Bit of soft spot for 220 myself, so she was always going to be first in line to get a little bit of a makeover. Yep, fantastic kits and an absolute gent to deal with.

JasonB Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Another batch of wagons are now on the bench. This time around, it's my 12 gypsum's along with 3 more ballast hoppers. Spent the last couple of evenings highlighting some of the smaller details. Loads have also been removed for some cosmetic work. Wagons will eventually be weathered. When, is anyone's guess. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Little or nothing worked on since my last post, other than this pair of hornby containers, which I weathered over the Christmas break. I really must get the finger out. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Following on from my recently finished containers, I have now turned my attention to my 42' flats. Before carrying out any weathering on these, I have decided to swap out the original bogies and replace them with the more recent version, which has the brass bearings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
