O14 modeller Martin Field has provided the following link to some useful annotated pictures outlining various scratch building techniques, including lathe work, soft and silver soldering, panel forming etc. Although the examples are road vehicles they are equally applicable to railway vehicles, especially as the scale is the same. There’s no excuse now in tackling that awkward prototype you’ve hankered after!
