Detailing RTR Locos (2)

by Gary Lee

 

Further detailing

This Hornby 38xx "County" Class has seen some more elaborate detailing work.

Apart from the basic detailing described on the previous page it has a whole new smokebox door, as well as smokebox support irons.

Small brass wire cylinder drain cocks have been added to the cylinders.The bufferbeam has had sprung buffers added, a screw link coupling and a new brass vacuum pipe.

I have also extended the cab floor and put some cabside doors on.

I replaced the tender floor brake handle - I found it in my bits box and remember paying a bomb for it !

Finally, I fabricated a regulator handle and painted the backhead a little.
