How to make an 'n' gauge LOWMAC - Part 4

Cut out the plain decking with 4 rectangles, paste onto postcard and cut out again including rectangles.

Note the black lines shown arrowed. Turn over and mark two lines that mirror the two inner lines. Lightly score these. Turn over and score the two outer  lines. Fold to form the same angles as the frames. Glue to the frames ensuring centrally placed.

Check wheels run freely and their flanges sit below the top surface.

Cut out two buffer beams, glue to postcard and cut out again. Glue to ends of frames orientated as shown.


Cut out planked decking and create folds as before. Glue on top of the plain decking ensuring centrally placed. Check wheels turn freely. Lightly smooth the long sides of the decking with fine grade sandpaper.
