Here is a picture of the first test etch for the diagram 23 Stroudley 4 wheel second class saloon of 1881 and 1882. This one has had brakes soldered on as well as the gas gauge on the solebar. I was inspired to produce this by the recent picture in the Brighton Circular - the magazine of the Brighton Circle, a society that researches about the LB&SCR.

Here is a picture of the test etch of the diagram 24 Stroudley 4 wheel second class saloon of 1881. This is the first build of a test etch. A couple of points that need attention are being sorted. The chassis is sprung using a similar system to Bills. I am open to suggestions as to what to etch next. Email me suggestions via the email link.
