Very little modelling for one reason and another, although the Southern Borail is still making slow progress, all shackles on and finished, bolsters cast and fixed to wagon, and all stanchion pockets cast and fitted to solebars.
I did recently bring the Gloucester bogie casting malarkey to something approaching a happy conclusion though and I'm quite pleased with the result, they aren't perfect but look the part I think. Apart from anything else they are nicely visually "different" to the diamond frames of their bigger brethren.
First look in the sun yesterday, ride height issues to be addressed,
Ride height sorted out and bogie castings given a waft of Halfords primer.
So this represents the 1961 "Bolster E", still missing rivets etc but now sporting the correct bogies. I might just give it a vacuum pipe representation before further paint and lettering takes place. I am working on further set of my bogie castings for the second of the pair that Dave built - back in 2013 now, how time flies!
