At long last we finally have some designs prepared for the missing items on the wagons which are to be made in brass and hopefully the first test etch will arrive with me very soon.
The bits in question include the ballast chute door mechanisms which you can see in this picture below.
The plan is to etch the cogs and the brackets which can be threaded onto brass wire and fixed in place on the wagons.
Other parts to be included on the fret are the small and large handwheels which control the brakes and the ballast doors as well as the hood which covers up the brake cylinders at either end.
Once these parts have been test and any necessary revisions made either to the photo-etching artwork or the cast components of the kit we can begin to go into production.
Needless to say I will keep you in touch with developments here on the blog.
