CO/CP Stock update

[metman]

The first car from my 4 car CO/CP stock set is nearly complete. This is 'A' end CO stock car 53056 one of the first 4 cars to be converted to normal PCM resistance in 1955. The door glazing is not fitted because I've increased the glazing height like the original and have had to have some new windows made!

Enjoy

Well if you're happy, I'm half the way there! Thanks to all. I just need to actually build Harrow-on-the-Hill now!

Hi Metman, very impressive. You too noticed the door window heights being off. I would be interested in the fix. I have one of these on my project list and have been trying to come up with a solution other than just filing the openings to the right height and sticking some thin plastic to the back. Very nice detail...what motor bogies are you going to use?

Thankfully I make models for Radley Models so I produced a couple templates to suit the new glazing heights and he'll make me some new glazing.

I will use two linked Tenshodo WB31 motors placed in my 'D' end CO stock car. This is my normal set up. Both my A60 stock trains have two linked motors in the 'D' end Motor cars. All powered cars also have lead weights over each motor. My T stock motor car has the same treatment, which is great because the T stock DM is mostly metal and with the lead weights in is very heavy!

Good luck with it all.

I have now found a way to add flush glazing to be CO/CP stock doors, that if you recall I had to raise.
