Right Track 1 - Locomotive Kit Building - Part 1

 

Tony Wright is an accomplished author and model maker.

He is also the assistant editor of British Railway Modelling and, to date, has built over 400 locos, mostly from kits.

In this, the first of the Right Track series, he starts to build an A2 Pacific from DJH and shows the different methods used on a 4F from Alan Gibson and a 61XX Prairie tank from South Eastern Finecast.   

In two programmes, recorded in his own workshop, he shows how he takes the kits from their basic components to completed running models in 4mm scale, "OO" gauge.

In Part 1, Tony begins with the white metal and brass components from these three popular manufacturers and shows how to build a rolling chassis with a basic body.

Many of the techniques shown here can be applied to other scales with great success.

Here's a preview of what to expect.

... when the hopeless, gunked up chassis is hurled back in the box with a thump and a curse, never to emerge, Tony Wright TELLS YOU HOW and it's well worth listening and watching; after all this is one of most prolific loco builders in the country ...
