Encore Une Grange (Another Barn)

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this indeed a carbon copy of the last model I made.



Progress has been steady since I returned from holiday on the 'copy' of FR 'Barn' 105 for a Boston Largs Works customer.

As you can see most of the beading is on the two sides (which are not a mirror image - see previous posts on the history of this carriage for an explanation) the next job is to turn them over and mock up the full wooden droplights on the doors and the half droplights on the small windows.

The ends have been cut from styrene and will be beaded-up, and then we're getting tantalisingly close to fixing them into a four-sided carriage shape.
