Assuming there are no schoolboy errors
the etch is good to go. beams, spare bolster and a CSB, it should be a straight replacement for the kit item.

Hi Cynric
Amazing,
Thank God you up-scaled to 1/32nd, You and Simon are doing more for the Diesel modeller in this scale than G1MRA (Hence the need for our own group). I remember when I did D6331 I did not like Fred`s design for the bogie or the compensation, So I cut away all the etch that was visible and went for a fixed bogie, as Roger has allready stated this runs perfect on both Worcester rd and Rob Mabbetts layout. Now you have produced these etches I take it they will be available to purchase ? As they are the same wheel base as the Class 29, I fancy to sets for the 1x class 29 7 1x class 21 that I am currently doing.
The brick work is also excellent, looks as good as Gorden Gravitts brickwork he makes out of modelling clay.
I agree with other comment about the 16t mineral wagon, the colours look superb just needs a bit of texture, blistering, dents, scrapes, peeling paint however with so many mineral wagons and as many weathering variations the world is almost your oyster !!
I also like the accessories you are making, are these going to be available to purchase?
You will shortly have enogh items to start a little business !!! making money from your hobby cannot be a bad thing or can it ?
Cheers
for now
