A slight diversion – Blacksmith LMS Long Low

While searching for something else I came across a kit for an LMS Long Low by the long defunct Blacksmith Models.I had a quick look in the box and was pleasantly surprised to find that it contained a set of wheels presumably added by the previous owner. I bought it along with a number of other kits a few years ago before we move up to North Yorkshire. A closer look also revealed quite an interesting and I suspect quite advanced for its time underframe etch. I didn’t take photos of it in the flat but I was intrigued as to just how it folded up and couldn’t resist having a go.

This is just folded without any solder applied yet.
