Well, design process has started on my MOTY 2012 entry. The fact that this is in the rolling stock thread gives a little away but any guesses?? (Those who I have told, hush!)
I might also add a little cryptic clue - It's to do with the local quarries....

Doubt it'll be slate waggons, as I've heard that ain't much slate down your way

He'd be better off doing gravel wagons................

Ok, this wagon would no have been used in the quarries...

The Fosiccas (coprolite quarry worked) had short hours and were well payed....

If it wasn't waggons, then I would have suggested another barmey idea similar to your brakes, like working steam heating or something in carriages

I'm in a privileged position - I KNOW what he's doing and some of you are fairly close to what's intended!

Of course, I won't TELL you - that's up to Zach!

Right then, to put you out of your misery here's a photo of the card prototype I made today.
Unfortunately the photo shrunk and went all fuzzy in the wash so you'll have to keep guessing...

A pub/bar coach?

Prize?

Spoil Sport!
Sigh, fine. Here's a better pic of the detail on the bar.

The inside, this is all a mock up, there will be alot more planking and detail in the ply wood...

And the outside...

Wow Excellent idea and looks brill, is the bar at the approved titfield level?

Dr. Bond of the DVLR · Post by **Dr. Bond of the DVLR** » Fri Nov 18, 2011 8:34 pm

erm, I think it comes out at about a scale 3ft 8 inches... A tad on the low side I think...

The LASER cut parts are roughly assembled. The Olive green bits are painted pria to varnishing

The Urinal may end up being a bucket...
The detail behind the bar includes shelves for assorted glasses and a sink and a cabinet.

Infront of the bar

4 layers in the walls...

Oh NO! Rene has found the bar...
