A little TLC

Post by Sir haydn » Thu Jun 24, 2010 5:05 pm

With a little free time this afternoon I finished off and detailed a few of my TR and CR wagons

I added some real slate waste, the PVA still needs to set

Will do a little paint touching up and sort the couplings out and they will look a treat and weigh a fair bit too!

They look great :shock:

Bit of a coincidence, I've been cutting slate today too! (Built a slate fence along the length of the passing loop at Westwood Station. - no pics yet cos the "anti-blackbird screening" is still up while the cement goes off :D )

Have you PVA'd the coal waste?

They look great, especially like the large slate wagon with the wooden chock. Looks really good.
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.
