OH POO I've just noticed the hole in the centre of the rear wheel on the good side will need to sort it out

Nice job so far Ian. A change from your usual projects

[rickoshea52]

Are they plastic wheelsets? Eeek! They're no use if you were going to make this a motorised.

It's interesting seeing the derelict version being built alongside the refurbished one, different weathering and paint work. Great stuff Ian, watching with interest.

While the bogie sets drying started to think about the inside that would be seen

Was thinking of using a large drinking straw But I didn't think it looked right

So I used some 15mm plastic plumbers pipe [ATTACH]74543.IPB[/ATTACH]

Smart idea to do this derelict the one side and restored the other. Had thought of doing it with a car but this is a much better subject.

Great job so far.
