I like the idea of a transfer bank. Other modelling forums do a similar thing, I’ve noticed. The IPMS also has an official library that members can donate spares to, and ask for things if needed. The problem is, how would it work on WT, and who would want to administer it?
Food for thought.
Thanks to Larry, I think I’ll have enough Seconds to complete this batch of coaches. I’m waiting now the client to tell me what running numbers he wants.
The board clips are actually a little oversize, because they’re meant to be used on the roofs of 1930s coaches. They will, however, do the job - or rather they won’t do the job as I don’t expect boards to be fitted! I probably wouldn’t have bothered, but two of the kits had etched slots which I had neglected to fill otherwise. All four will now have clips fitted.
