Wheeltapper 2006


James Aitken's GWR Macaw Bogie Bolster. Built from a Connoisseur kit brought at the Railex exhibition in May last year. Sides bent up using the bending tool sold by JLTRT, which is just long enough. Soldered using 145 degree solder except for the bogies which use low melt solder. First time I've successfully soldered white metal due, I think, to using a temperature controlled iron for the firs time. Weathered using techniques learnt at one of the club's teaching evenings.
