PX48 in 009: chassis fitted...
Another little update on the PX48, I had intended to leave this until Christmas but it's an engine I have such a soft spot for I couldn't help myself...
So after chopping 2mm out of the boiler earlier in the week tonight saw even more drastic surgery as I took a knife to the inside of the boiler to carve out all the bits intended to help mount the Graham Farish 8F chassis when using the H0e model.
Once I was happy the body sat level I superglued the two halves together. I plan to fill the gap between the boiler and smokebox and then I'll add a coat of primer and rub it down before adding details. More soon...
Hello James!
ReplyDeleteI also have begun to build the Px 48, which has been for one season at Bregenzerwaldmuseumsbahn in Vorarlberg.
I have changed the Graham F. wheeles, which are really fine but too large, against wheels from a Minitrix V60, which are scale and the tender wheeles against spokewheels 7mm from Sehling, the boogieframes from Liliput are now shortened. If you are interested, have a look to the german "schmalspurmodellforum".
Regards, Chris.
