Class T2 Tank GNR Gauge O Upgrades

[murrayec]

This GNR T2 tank loco visited the shop for some upgrades- breaks, pick-ups, and wheel weights.

Body off and a bit of a survey being carried out.

With drawings done the parts were cut out in .5mm brass- wheel weights, break hangers n bars.

All cleaned up with the Tufnol break shoes ready to go on.

Main pick-ups upgraded with .4mm NS wipers and break stuff being soldered on.

Nice little set of cast brass break shoes soldered on the bogie truck.

.4mm NS wiper pick-ups installed under the bogie truck.

Almost there.

Chassis up and running.

Body back on and its off to the owner and paint shop.
