Undergubbins

The other night Fetler D'amatuer dropped off the mk1 4 wheeled underframe etchs. Naturally I had to have a crack at them with a soldering iron.

First up, as it comes....

'Wroowww'
While there are no instructions its all pretty straightforward. here we see it 1/2 way through. I've used Carrs solder paste which really makes things easy.

After a few more poor photos of various assembly stages, here is the final article with its predecessors. On the left is a Trackgang 10' underframe (modified slightly) and on the right is the good old Peco underframe. Total assembly time was about 45 minutes.


I've got a few suggestions that will be thrashed out (figuratively of course) this weekend.
However I'm still extremely happy with it
