Good evening again.
Now I have come to the frame, boggies, and the balcony steps:
I also have to make the buffer beams bigger so I can put the buffers lower in order to fit my Roundhouse loco.
....working on... I´ll soon start with the finnishing of the roof.

Hi all.
At this time I´m feeling almost finnished
I can still think of more detaling and also a layer of laque on the roof. But all in all the coach is ready for a first visit out on the tracks
Vents on the roof and the balcony railings are bought from GRS.
Regards to all
Michael

I especially like the"lazy tong" gates.

I really like what you have done there.

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Hi everybody
First off all, many thanks for all your kind comments. Much appreciated
And here are some pictures of the first test driving case:
The boggies are too stiff and I need to add more weight to it.. It´s cold here now, this is maybe the last outdoor driving for this year.

That is a lovely looking coach and superbly made.
Just right for your railway.

I can't find the railings on the GRS site. Can you please give part number or other details of them? Also price (GBP)
I will need six balcony ends for my winter passenger coach project.

Hi Peter
The number of the railings are under General parts: DG 131 and the price is 8,34 They call it two sets, so I belive you will get enough parts in one bag.
Btw: I really love your timberwagon
It got me thinking, I haven´t tried plasticard at all yet...( My next coach project is, I belive, a funny one, but more of that later)
Regards from Michael
