Take a look at the picture and then tell me if the title now makes sense to you?
Yes, that's right! This little bit of the NG Y ballast wagon does indeed look a little like a bow tie, don't you agree?
One of these will fit on either end of the door / chute casts I showed you on Monday.
I took a snap of it snug as a bug in its moulding box seconds before smothering it in RTV rubber.
As you will have gathered if you are a regular reader - and a very warm welcome if you're new, by the way - I have now ceased to bother with the virtually impossible task of measuring out 5% of a minuscule amount of RTV catalyst when I'm make a mould, and instead I've taken to slopping it in using the well known scientific measurement 'That looks about right', so the damn thing may well have set firm by the time I finish typing this,
Alternatively, of course, I could still be waiting to de-mould it on Christmas Day.
That's why resin casting is such fun!
