Took a little longer than anticipated ....... but I managed to get the exteriors finished off today. They all now have 'riveted' underframes and headstocks. I may fit some cosmetic buffers when I get around to detailing the interiors.Andrew:107726 wrote:Looking forward to film footage of this lot in action...
Andrew.
Here's all three
This is the first one I completed. It has a raised ridge on the roof and the steps are flush with the coach body.
Here's the second open. No raised ridge and the steps are away from the body. Whereas the first coach had hand-drawn stained glass toplights I did them on the computer for the last two coaches (I live and learn).
And here's the brake end.
As promised, I videoed their test run. It was beginning to get dark towards the end - but I think you can get a feel for how they run - including rounding a couple of my sharp curves.
