Model Railway Forum

Before lunch I finished the support rings and put one vertical rail in place to hold everything square.

I’ve now added the remaining rails and the standoffs. It can dry overnight before getting a coat of red primer tomorrow.

Wow, that's some detailed parts to cut out. What are you using to remove them from the fret?

Single edge razor blade - not a Stanley blade or scalpel, both are too thick!

Oh, that's something else I'll need to order.
Glue ??? PVA possibly?

Amazon, about £6 for 100.
I’m using aliphatic resin from Deluxe Materials as it sets a little harder than PVA.

That's great Steve. Thanks for the info..

A squirt of red primer and a wash of black.

And finally, all done. The second ladder will probably end up on the engine shed when I next upgrade that.

Ladder much better vertical than the original sloped version.

Looks as though its always been there - well done.

Looks very good.
