Are you attaching solebars

Sole bars are already attached. They sit further back on these carriages.

Carriage no7 has received a bit more work. It now sits on its bogies and has the internal partitions fitted. Will hopefully get the beading done on this one soon as well and will paint them both at the same time.

That looks absolutely brilliant Matt, great to see all the bits
coming together with such excellent results.

Thanks Sam, got the tenmille decal sheet and roof vents on the way for it. Need to add some weight to it as it seems to dislike corners at the moment.

Thanks mike, the work you put in made getting this far much easier!

Check the swing on the solebars!

LnBmad · Post by **LnBmad** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:42 pm

I have clearance on the sole bars. That was my first thought. It is bouncing over the rail in 2 places on my line. Sure with some added weight from interior and a minor bit of ballasting in the guard end it should be fine.

Have you got compensation on your bogie

Probably my bogies

Back to the CAD then

The bogies are fine mike. They have minor compensation but then again my line is not exactly forgiving for these large carriages lol

Humm, that was something I was going to suggest when I made them.
