Bunkering

Even in bare white metal Livingston Thompson has already got the look of the hulk that sat hidden away in Minffordd yard for so many years.

Himself has corrected the bunker casting error and the added details such as the handrails really set it off - it’s remarkable what you can achieve with these old Langley kits when made up carefully.

The bogies it’s sitting on just now are a pair Himself has sitting around in his den while I work on the proper ambulance bogies.

One of the important details - which Himself didn’t thank me for - was to hack out the cast coal detail in the bunkers.

Now it’s being passed over to me to fit in the firebox casting and complete the bogies.
