Car 4 & 5 – More skeleton log cars

It is a requirement of the master builders cars to scratch build four items of rolling stock, I chose to make another two skeleton log cars using my designs for cars 2 & 3.

Here are some images from the build, I built both of these at the same time. Batch building is much more efficient that completing each one in turn.

This shows progress after 2 1/2hours work here is all the complete models after marking out, drilling and hot work has been completed.
