CCA and an FO…

Well a few weeks ago my Austrians FO and CCA turned up for the Kurrajong project. Austrians really have gone up a gear and are producing some fine models. There are obvious changes and additions that I will make but otherwise a very good model.

Changes here, Paint the steps, paint the buffers being careful not to fool the working parts. And get rid of those ‘orrible’ couplers.

 

The bogies follow the same concept as the BS/FS release by Austrians in that they have pick ups for interior lighting. I am not a fan myself and will most likely exchange these bogies for AR kit 2AA’s. I have yet to do anything about hook and chain couplers but I will get there.
