Occre Adler train

[Roger J]

I am currently building two modelship dockyard kits (Hayling hoy and Pandora) but finding it slow going so having a go at this for a bit
Cut out parts for step one - the board seems to be some sort of fibre board or hardboard not as nice as wood but it will not be seen after assembly and all of the tabs are different sizes so it should be idiot proof

That looks like a very interesting build. What is the scale?

I also have this kit in work, stalled at moment but interesting little project.

I found adding boards to side of boiler was much like tapering planks on curves of hulls.

Hi Jan and Kurt
It is 1:24 scale (G45 rail)
Looking at the plans i don't think they need tapering much as the quite wide gaps between then seems to be a decorative feature of the model

That's a good scale to work with with. I've got several Occre Trams on the shelf.

I am waiting on them to restock the track base or maybe just go buy some G-scale track here and make it myself.

I am waiting on my birthday or so to get the Addler Car Set to go with engine.

Started the boiler planking the instructions say plank from the axle supports up but i can foresee error's creeping in at the top so i decided to start at the top and work down as any errors will be less visible

The boiler planked and as expected a slight error but at least it is out of sight, after priming there are a few high spot so i will sand it a bit more and try again
Started the fire box
