I'm setting aside the loco, Jennifer Who, and moving back to making up the carriages for this LSWR train. I've already made the underframe for this Break/Brake van and have made a start on the body. Here is the jig that I used to make the underframe and I've just made a start on the sides. The top strip of wood is slid down into position to keep things in position. This morning, I machined to length on my milling machine the 36 uprights need to make up the two sides, the horizontals will come later. I did try to plane them to length using a shooting board but I didn't find it easy to plane across the ends of the styrene pieces.
I'm dreading making the lantern roof so, if this break van ends up with an uninterrupted roof line, you'll know why.
