NEW PRODUCTS PRIMED

The latest pair of carriages made at Boston Largs Works are now ready to be painted into FR two tone livery.

They are 4mm (009) models of 'Barn' carriages 107 and 123, which has recently been overhauled and converted from a 1st class observation carriage, running at the downhill end of FR trains, into a 3rd class carriage and turned so it can run as the first vehicle at the uphill end of trains where passengers can still enjoy the views from the windows in the former observation compartment.

BARN FARM

My latest client was so delighted with his pair of FR 'Barns' 102 & 105 that he has immediately placed a follow-up order for two more - new-build composite 107 (completed in 2005) and born again Observation Carr 123 (you can read about me building my own model of this carriage on the Bron Hebog blog).

Here's where I've got to with this latest project with the first stage bodysides of both carriages completed.



You can see where 102 and 105 have ended up here

DUTCH DELIGHT

Boston Lodge Works is proud to have done its bit to help the UK's export drive with the safe arrival in Holland of a pair of 7mm scale ex-SAR AY ballast wagons.

A delighted client emailed to say: "These are indeed massive models, wow! Fabulous work, I'm really chuffed with them."

TWIN SET

Good progress with the commission for a pair of FR Barns 102 & 105.

102 is now complete and both of them will now be painted in the current red and cream livery.

LATEST PRODUCTS

Shown below are two of our latest commissions.

This is a 4mm scale (009) model of Festiniog Railway carriage 105. The client asked for a model in its current guise with a centre toilet compartment. The model has been completed to the client's specified level of detailing and is pictured here prior to painting (and the fitting of bogies).





A second model is being constructed as part of the same commission: FR Observation Carr. 102.

Also ready for painting are a pair of 7mm scale models of ex-SAR, now WHR, ballast wagons. These have been made to a high level of detail including bespoke etched brass handwheels and cogs for the ballast door mechanism. They have been finished off with resin waterslide transfer rivets. They are being supplied without bogies.
