Description: Scratchbuild from styrene strip and tube. The square section sidebars, cross bars and legs are laminated from two thicknesses of stip, filed carefully to hide the join. The wheels were made from thin section of half inch styrene tube, with a circular disc welded inside. The disc was cut from 20thou stryene sheet. The springs and spring support is made from 20thou by 60thou strip wrapped round a former and soaked in boiling water to retain the required shape. The barrows are based on a drawing in Weddell's book on LSWR carriages.
