Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Tonight I made a small sample to test the fold of the window opening. Well actually, a few samples, as I started off by producing a small pile of scraps.....about three tries unsuccessfully, then this one, beginning with using the bead roller tipping wheel....
This is about as far as it would go, and with the good piece already having bends at the bottom, would be a bit less once tried on that piece. This will require a custom made "anvil" for some hammer action...

As modified:
.....then for some manual tipping...
Comparison to the original....
This looks close, next task will be to cut a sample out of the original and see how close we actually are...
