I know I said railway modelling was limited as of late, but attaching two parts of styrene to the frames of a brakevan and calling it a day really does show how limited the time is...
For footboards I've just simply used Pastruct 3.3mm angled pieces. In all honesty slightly thinner pieces might have looked better, but at the same time this size helps to hide the majority of the N gauge chassis under frame details. I probably should have added some faux rivet detail with a pin in a pin chuck beofre attaching, but a few uprights of 20x40thou plastic strip will have to suffice instead to stop the plain look.
The Talyllyn brake handle was found amongst the spares box at last, and after trimming and fitting into a pieces of 2mm brass tubing, was fixed to the toad's deck with the aid of a piece of 1mm microrod stickout out of the base and a matching hole drilled into the chassis.
Now it really is a case of finishing off the tiny details. This mainly consists of some more styrene strip pieces to represent lamp irons, and then it'll finally be time for the undercoating, hopefully with its little friend in tow...
