Railcar build started

The railcar kit I got for Christmas has now been joined by a second one and they are now being prepared for painting.

All parts were unpacked and checked over. This is just one of the kits.

The next job was to remove all parts from the sprue.

This left small pips on some edges where they were joined to the sprue, they were removed with a bit of light sanding. The wooden parts where all then given a coat of Sanding Sealer and left to dry. Tomorrow they will get a light sanding and the first coats of paint will be applied.

The livery chosen is the same as on the railcar at the Nene Valley Railway.
