Scratchbuilt L and B Coach No7
I've got back on this task again and Coach No7 is very nearly finished externally apart from painting around the edges of the open area and the corner brackets also the door handles and grab handles [ I hope Tenmille still do them ]
The next coach is No3 which I don't think I've ever seen modelled in SM32 Its the one with the open end saloon but no end windows or brake compartment.

Nice work once again! I have a model of carriage 3 in sm32 although not to quite the same level of detail as yours will be.
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

Ooh, that's looking lovely, a rake of those is going to be quite a sight. I'm hoping to get a ride on the real L&B this Easter, they were still using the old Thorpe Park carriages last time I went...
Is the interior wood stained? It's a good look - I've not really got that sorted on my carriage interiors yet and have never been entirely satisfied by how they've come out.
All the best,
Andrew.

Thanks guys for your kind comments, the wood is not varnished by the way it just looks a bit dark probably due to all the laser cut engrave lines its quite a light ply in reality. I'm glad the Tenmille bits are still available. Interestingly I tried to get them interested on two invited occasions in the 1990's using what was then new technology of CAD and CNC/Laser cutting but they just didn't get the message.

Excellent work, but am I missing something? Their web site says the kits ARE available as GO43, GO44 and GO47...

Ah, OK, thanks. I wonder why they don't mention that on their web site...qh45:107548 wrote:The L&B kits are currently unavailable...
