Railway Mania Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0DM KIT Manual

RECOMMENDED TOOLS
Flush cutters or snips
Scalpel or modelling knife (recommend a Swann-Morton knife) - always use sharp blades
Files - Jewellers files of differing shapes are useful
Pin vice drill for opening out handrail holes - drill sizes 0.45-0.55mm and 0.8 to 1mm
Pair of pliers for bending handrails
Wet and dry sandpaper
RECOMMENDED MATERIALS
Cyanoacrylate/Super Glue - recommend high viscosity so it doesn't run everywhere
Roket card glue or similar - for attaching bits like the chimney (in case you need to remove it
again)
Deluxe Materials Glue 'n Glaze - useful for glazing the cab windows after painting and
weathering
Filler primer (aerosol cans available from Halfords, eBay etc.) - use in ventilated areas with a
mask
Squadron green putty or other filler material
NOTES AND ADVICE
The kit is designed to fit the late Bachmann 03 chassis with the 6-pin decoder. We are checking
to see if it will fit the newest version with the NEXT18 decoder as this may involve moving the
chip.
It is comprised of three main components:
Running board, cab, bonnet.
It is recommended to prep and paint these components before fixing them all together.
The running board may be quite flexible during assembly - don't worry! When the other
components are attached, they will give it rigidity.
The kit is 3D printed in resin. This material retains good detail but can be quite brittle so please
do take care when handling it as it will snap under pressure. The running board and steps are at
the most risk as they are thin.
If a part has arrived bent we recommend warming the part up by submerging it in hot water,
applying gentle pressure and allowing it to cool whilst held in the preferred shape.
Running boards often appear curved along their length, this is due to how thin they are,
assembly onto the other main components and chassis normally rectifies this without the need
for bending it into shape.
