Hi guys, not had much chance to do any modelling lately, and been trying to sort out what's best for rivets for it... I did buy some tichytrain group rivets, but my fat fingers / shaky hands mean that they are out, I've also tried the puncture from reverse but they just don't look right...

The next one is this

Which I spotted whilst doing a search on the forum a few days ago, not sure if they look a little too big though...

There are a couple of things I would like to point out, I see you are using the Bedford wheels..they are 10.5" x 20", the Dorchester used 13.50 x 20 or 14 x 20....much bigger.

I have quite a bit of info, stowage diagrams, and photographs of the drivers area. These were taken of the example at Duxford. I also have my own drawings in 1/35, as I had been gathering details for a long time.
Rivets.....have a look at my website

I have a section on rivets, not the easiest of things to do, but it works for me.

I am sure that AA would supply the running gear and other parts.

Good luck with the project.

George
