Wheal Ponder, a Cornish Cameo.

[Andrew Young]

A fortnight ago I sprained my ankle. Pretty much back to normal now, but the recuperation period enabled some modelling.

With NG Now six weeks ago, a quick fix project was the way to go. Those of a finescale or engineering mindset may wish to look away now, this is pure Bachmann Bashing Bodgery.

My attempt at converting a Bachmann Porter to resemble a Stephen Lewin contraption. Pure function over form.

As usual, more waffle on the blog…

A Quick Bachmann Bash

Returned home from a very enjoyable child free weekend in Brugge to find my order of Narrow Planet plates had arrived and so have been able to finish off my Lewin Bachmann Porter bash.

Managed a few improvements to the weathering so that I’m now happier with the finish. Some coal has been added alongside a couple of tools and oil cans. With the finishing touch being a pair of ‘St Piran’ nameplates.

All set to enter service, shall see what I decide to tackle next to run on Wheal Ponder.

Been building some more Iconic Rail Corris kits.

Some more photos and what I think of them on the blog. More Iconic Carriages

Cheers,
