Since the last post I have now done the final few jobs so I consider Peppa finished. Some more weathering was carried out to the top and as I wanted this to be able to move the odd wagon about as required sosome kind of coupling system was needed. I remembered a piece of Plastic Playmobil coupling in my plasticard off cuts and sure enough it had a lip on the bottom ideal for catching an LGB hook. I found another in my parts box, how these 2 white bits got separated is a mystery but they have done the job. A few off cuts to strengthen the glued joint and a bit cut out to allow the hook to attach and that was that fitted. All that was the required was some Matt Black to hide the whiteness of the parts. So Pappa Pig meets Playmobil meets IP Engineering meets Deltang meets scratch building parts. A lot of disciplines in there.
Showing the strengthening plasticard off cuts plus the lip that catches the hook better.
Then out on the line for some tests. Runs sweet if a little fast at full throttle, but all in the hands of the driver.
At the junk yard in Silberhutte, no doubt the Pway Gang have contributed with all the rubbish kicking around. Oh and some brilliants on the light fitting, look good when the sun catches them.
