Now a little progress

Track laid, , even the turnout motors are in position, next job is to solder on all the feeds....

 The Skaledale SR platelayers hut, has gained a proper chimney, next a bit of a repaint

 The other hut, has lost the redundent down pipe and the gutter on the high side, the groves in the roof have also been filled, next is a new felt roof and a repaint.

 Drilling umpteen holes to strip out the interior was fun ..... NOT!

But eventually, with the help of a knife and a file, this is what we got.

Then followed the ''cut n shut''

The 3 buildings, photo this time.
and the layout with the track temporally in position,

new project; minimalist LSWR

This is the track, cut to size and temporaly in position, its an imaginary LSWR branch, more info later , when I get more time.

This is the chassie, cosmeticly complete, all that needs to be added here, now, is battery+battery box, switches, diodes wireing, and light weathering ,
Did I say ''ALL'' ?

Ok, unbelieveably some progress has been made, the chassie is now complete, as a stand off scale impression of a IR DVT, MKIV
Too be honest, this model is a long way from accurate, but in veiw of the lack of information, is the best I can do it seems to me that the chap/chapess who designed it sat in front of his/her/ it's cad/cam unit and decided to design something that no moddler could accurately re-produce

that damn dvt again-again-again

the body takin shape

that dammed MK IV DVT

the frame extensions on the Hornby BR MK IV DVT

The bulkhead to hold the cut body together...

 the cut Hornby body with all the BR detail removed.
