Thanks Rick. I think I’m getting the hang of it lol.Looking good Lee....you have this down to a Science
Thanks Chris for the complement. Yes I cut them out with the scalpel I find I get a cleaner cut that way. Yes the Buffer is in the Coupler device that kinda softens the blow when hooking these up. Unlike the European cars that have them on the sides. Stay tunedDITTO ON what rick said brilliant moddeling an Lee did you manage to cut them doors out with just that scapel ? as i find that usein them take quite a while goin round the cut an for me i now just chain drill the doors or such an file it all nice an level an then file the door an then build up with thin plasti card where the cut is if that makes any sence as i find them scapel hard work an i likley end up stabbin me self in the finger so chain drillin is for me but you have Lee such a nice cut there very well done my freind ps Lee do the doors slide open or close ? an dont these boxcars have hydraulic buffers on them ? like on our wagons in blighty
