You can call me a hypocrite if you like, and I won't disagree, but after many years of - lets call it scepticism - about 3D printing the new fangled technology has proven to be the best solution to the problem of how to recreate the small mesh safety doors on the Hudson toast rack carriage 39.
Even better was that I didn't have to do anything to get them, having been offered eight spares from fellow NG modeller, Colin Lea.
As printed, they were just under a millimetre too wide for the gap between the body panels - if it was the 009 Society / Dundas kit it would have been even more so - but it proved possible to file them carefully at either side to fit snugly.
You can probably make out in the picture that I have made and fitted the seat benches and the backrests.
Now it's just about ready to pass to Himself to add the brass bits and get it painted.
Cheers Colin!
