My back-up plan of raiding Himself's stocks failed because he hasn't got any either!
So while I wait for fresh supplies to arrive I've had to think about what other jobs I could be getting on with to progress the model which is increasingly being built in reverse order.
The seats and tables have already been cast - that was the first thing I did - so instead I've soldered up a pair of bogies and glued on the castings with the axle boxes and suspension details.
For these latest WHR saloons I've made a new mould to represent the roller bearings and improved suspension which have been retro-fitted onto the former SAR wagon bogies at Boston Lodge.
For the fold-up brass part I can use the same etch which goes into my wagon kits.
I've also taken the opportunity to get my least favourite bit of a carriage build out of the way and fabricated and shaped the corridor connections which are very fiddly to do.
The new packets of strip should be hear soon and then I can begin detailing the door and end pieces which I made last week.
