Home 2-BIL SR
This is an Ian Kirk kit supplied by Branchlines with their Can motor and detailing packs. The model will be finished in SR Malachite Green, the unit number as yet undecided.

Progress: Motor bogie has been built but is being improved for smoother running. One of the coach sides has had detail added. A lot of work still to do.

SWT CIG 1314 is gradually taking shape, being hauled around by 73109. Work still to do includes fitting of Kadee couplings on outer ends, Keen Systems close coupling and floating end plates for inner ends, completion of underframe equipment, completion of interiors and painting.
Modified Lima bogie with MJT whitemetal cosmetic B4 bogie sides. Brass rod slots into small holes I made to keep the bogie square and level. Having been sprayed matt black, the bogie will be weathered with the rest of the unit when complete.
