South Eastern Finecast Adams 02/G6

Another Adams G6.

There's a problem with the old South Eastern Finecast kits for the Adams G6. They were originally built for the old Hornby Dublo jinty chassis. (I think i may have mentioned this in a previous post) Using one of there new etch chassis, this makes the boiler and thus the splashers to shirt, the splasher doesn't line up with the wheels. Not one ti suffer this, how do we get over this?

I have cut the boiler in half from just in front of the first boiler band.

You need to add a piece of material 3.56mm in width into this section, this will also make the boiler the correct length.

I cut a length of of 0.4 brass sheet, rolled it into a ring and soldered it in place.

Tinning the inside of the brass ring first with 145° solder then soldering in with 70° solder. Im happy with that.
