IP Engineering low-loaders

[Martino]

Just completed two IP Engineering low loaders.  Then `attacked` them with weathering powders, stains and washes.  They`ll be used mainly for transporting vehicles, hence the MG.  Must work on some scale rope, rather than garden twine.  I`m not happy with the bogies, but that`s more down to my building skill I think.  I may replace them with Swift Sixteen bogies at some stage.

Very nice!

I've found a "reasonable" rope - hat-band elastic - about 2mm dia. $2 from Coles for 2 metres. Thing is, you can stretch it, apply to model, and then run superglue down it to keep the thinner stretched profile, and of course it hardens up the ? "catch".. just an idea.....

Thank you Chris. Sounds like a plan.

Nicely done, Martino. Probably too small for a traction engine, but a tractor....... Thanks for the idea
