In an earlier post I mentioned that the platforms on the London tram I am building are too long.Today I decided to try and do something about it. <br />Having no plans to work from I don't know how much to take off and I really don't want to muck it up too much and have to rebuild. <br />Here is the problem, <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/platform.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />I really had trouble making these ends but they do have to change for the overall look. <br />I decided to carefully cut the end off and then decide what to do. <br /> <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/cut%201.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />So far so good.The window frames have remained intact. <br /> <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/end%20off.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />I decided on a centimetre slice.The kitten decided on window frame attack as I tried to take the picture[:(] <br /> <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/centimetre%20out.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />And the refit. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/refit.JPG[/img] <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/1858/small%20platform.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />The rest of the day will be spent on the other end and rebuilding windows. <br />
