Hi All,
I have been working on the Rocket Passenger carriage buffer dampener assembly and the carriage subframe. The upper frame and cross members I made out of pine. Parts have been screwed and glued together and any countersunk heads filled with body filler. I have also smeared bodyfiller on any exposed end grain and then sanded back (leaving just enough bodyfiller) so the end grain cannot be seen through the primer paint.
The carriage is quite tall compared to the locomotive. Have enclosed an illustration of the carriage / loco that I am using as my guide. This seems pretty accurate compared to the loco / carriage videos of the working replicas shown earlier in this thread.
Regards
Keith
