Show & Tell
Fireside Fishkinds
George Dent spent most of January hibernating, with a few wagon projects for company.
The wild North Pennine winters can be tough and, although I undertake most of my modelling endeavours ‘off-site’ these days, I do tend to stock up on potential projects for home, just in case I can’t bring myself to venture out into the sleet, snow and ice.
Having picked up a few Cambrian wagon kits at last year’s Warley show, I was prompted to make a start on building them by the arrival of the EFE Rail ‘Sea Urchins’, as reviewed on page 96 of this issue. At this point, I’ll issue a spoiler alert: the undertakings featured here reveal my misgivings with the ‘Sea Urchin’ chassis. Indeed, a replacement underframe has been trialled using Cambrian kit parts.
