Chris Barker's Prototype and Model Rail Images

Welcome

... to Chris Barker's Fotopic Site!

Although just in development, this site is intended as an area for easy sharing and storage of railway related images, that I have taken of both prototypes and models.

Images of completed scratchbuilt models, kits or detailing to RTR are of my own work unless otherwise stated. More info to come...

I would also like to acknowledge Robert Stevens and his articles in Modelrail, without which I would probabily not have tried my hand at scratchbuilding.

1	Bolster blocks fitted to deck, I hope it's now starting to look like a wagon	Scratchbuilt IGA - work in progress	(453)
2	DB997862 TURBOT	Civil Engineers Fleet	(395)
3	Now almost complete, this view of the wagon end shows the strengthening struts and door locking rods now fitted. For the image I have fitted the buffers and cosmetic coupling to give a more finished look.	Scratchbuilt IWA - work in progress	(390)
4	Had to try a couple of 20ft containers in the pocket. Still a lot of detail to add, but I am pleased with how things are going.	Scratchbuilt KQA - Work in progress	(363)
5	Decals applied and coat of matt varnish to protect and seal them to the model. All that is left to do is lightly weather them.	Scratchbuilt IGA - work in progress	(359)
6	DB993274 SHARK	Civil Engineers Fleet	(345)
7	Out of interest, these are the 170 odd parts that go into the making of the IGA. But don't be put off, this second batch of parts only took about five hours to prepare.	Scratchbuilt IGA - work in progress	(336)
8	Final image before fitting the buffers	Scratchbuilt IGA - work in progress	(298)
9	Basic frame cut out and assembled	Scratchbuilt IGA - work in progress	(283)
10	Last image for the moment shows the buffers fitted in position, and the model placed on a couple of bogies that were to hand at the time. A few more detail parts need to be fitted and images will be added when these are done.	Scratchbuilt KFA	(278)
