May's issue of BRM has landed, and there's a few Phil pieces in there. First up, I've taken the exclusive World of Railways fireless locomotive, and given it a gentle coat of muck. These things wouldn't get too dirty; there's no muck coming out of the top for a start, so the work is all carried out with powders. I'll admit to being very pleased with the end result, although when you read the article, the model had to come to pieces first, which is a story in itself.
The four-step piece this time involves loading a wagon with stone.
We had a bit of a discussion about this on RMweb. Contemporary photos show the stone loaded loose, possibly with some straw, so that's what I've done. But first, I had to make the stone itself.
My camera has been out to shoot:

or our online store.
Hi Phil, I particularly enjoyed the article about making and adding the stone blocks; I was going to load my Bryngaer wagon with slates, but this would be an interesting and different alternative.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Simon.
Thanks. I have another wagon, and would like to load it with slates, but need to find photos as a guide.
