Right Track 2 - Locomotive Kit Building - Part 2

 

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

In the Right Track series he builds an A2 Pacific from DJH and shows the different methods used on a 4F from Alan Gibson and a Prairie tank from South Eastern Finecast.   

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

In this, the second of the two programmes, Tony completes the detailing of the locomotive body and finishes the models ready for painting. 

Here's a preview of what to expect.

Believe me, if you are going to start making kits or have never got the hang of it, get these DVDs and you’ll be off quicker than a light engine to shed with the crew wanting to catch the last half hour at the pub.
