Hymek

 After a raft of wagons and road vehicles its time to turn to the Hymek kit. Cast by Bruce Smetham, it was my intention to build the £mm Society chassis for this. However I have looked at the etching and bits for this kit and have decided to take the easy way out and fit a Halling Motor Bogie.
These excellent little mechanisms are designed to power Trams. They are adjustable as well, so this will just about do for the Hymek.
A while was spent cleaning out the window aperatures and cleaning up the base of the body.
A quick coat of primer lets us see the bits that need
a bit more work.
The marking for handrails has already been done so its just a matter of drilling out the holes.
This is my first Diesel in 3mm so it will be a steep learning curve to hopefully make it ride correctly.
