Title: Etched steps for Bulleid Pacics
Post by: 7P5F on August 31, 2015, 03:10:23 PM
Having got two of the new Farish M/N`s,superb models that they are,i have a couple of Poole built M/N`s which i`d like to detail.i`ve ordered front bogie kits from Nbrass loco but i can`t find any etched loco & tender steps.I suppose i could make them but life`s too short.

           Can any one help?.

Further to my question about steps for a Poole Merchant Navy,the signal ladder did the trick although two MSE ladders had to be soldered back to back to give strength & rigidity.Anyway,these are the results of a little upgrading using an Nbrass loco Bulleid front bogie,coupling hook,coupling & vac pipes.

  Macro lenses can be very cruel! :)
