For a little light relief from making buildings, I have made a start on the Colonel Stephen's era rake. The first vehicle is carriage 15 from a Malcolm Savage Kit. This comes with an end door to the servants compartment and therefore needs some modernisation. I have used the end supplied with the kit as a template for a plain brass end. I am then going to overlay this with a thin plasticard layer with the correct panelling for the period.
This rake will be painted in the Kentish green livery with red ends. This is a very heavy model so I am going to use the bogies I had etched by Worsley Works with pinpoint bearings.
