Dragon Models NBR/LNER Twin Gas Tank Wagon

A busy week hasn’t allowed much time to progress this but I managed a little last night.

The solebar overlays went on like a dream.

The challenge came when I got to soldering the solebars to the underframe. The underframe has a broken half etched line to show where it’s located but getting it to solder in an upright position tested my ingenuity. In the end a piece of rectangular tube backed up with a strip of scrap etch under the lip brought it vertical so I placed it under one end while I tacked in and then repeated at the other end before completing the seam.
