I had another post I was going to write this week about attending one of the many model shows happening in the UK this last weekend, honestly though, I just wasn't feeling it. Trying to think of the best way to put what I'm thinking about my experience into words. That might take a few days...
To try take my mind off of theses thoughts I returned to another project inspired by the work of Chris Ford, namely a diesel railcar in 009 adapted from a Dundas Models Welsh Highland Railway 'Bro Madog Eisteddfod' coach kit.
I always like to try put a twist on how I put these together so they don't just end up as direct copies of Chris's work (Luckily he sometimes gives a few nods to how this can be done in his writing!) In this case rather than simply taking a chunk out of the middle and cutting and shutting the coach sides, I made a few more cuts in order to rearrange them into a single centre door railcar.
The whole body was assembled just after lunch, leading to an afternoon of raiding the spares box for parts that could be adapted into some form of controls for the railcar.
But that's another story...
