Modification to a modification.
« on: May 31, 2020, 02:36:35 am »
Hi,

Still ploughing on with building a new layout but doing a little on other projects just to ease the repetition of laying track.  Some months ago I altered a wooden model truck to run on my garden railway and when sitting in my den playing on the computer  I would look at it and think it is too high.so. a day or so ago it became a small new project:



Here in Old South Wales we are still in lock down but the restrictions easy a little tomorrow.

Take care stay safe.

Tony.

That looks great Tony :)
Lowering it was a good call.
You are a true master of modification and scratch building.

Looks much better lowered. Must be more stable, too.
