The MDLR took delivery of its latest coach today - a new saloon for the Directors.

(Actually, it's a Brandbright kit, but don't go telling everybody - they'll all want one!)

The detail is absolutely STAGGERING......... Here are the table tops.......

The side seats (there are armchairs as well..........)

The inside of the observation end..................

Interior side panel (one of three layers of ply)

The outside of the observation end, with the outer layer just laid on the middle layer.........

I can't wait to get started! Livery will be Burmese Teak on the outside and Antique Pine on the inside, with the table tops and toilet pan lid in red mahogany.............

Wow, that looks great, the amount of detail that is on that is amazing. Can't wait to see your progress.

"Bootiful" - very nice indeed! The railway must be better off than the directors are letting on!!

Good god! That looks stunning. I like the table top ideas etc.
Which kit is it from Brandbright and how much will it cost?

It's a Brandbright PS22 and with wheels, axles and couplings (which are, of course, extra) and P&P it's come out at a smidgeon over £74.

If you want to look at the kit tomorrow, you'll be welcome (so long as you don't lose any of it - there's an awful lot of it!)

Oh I can assure you I wanted one beforehand having seen it at Stoneleigh and I want one even more now!
Look forward to seeing how it goes together

I look forward to when Brandbright will get around to putting it on their website...

So I can see what a finished one looks like before parting with folding portraits of HRH!

Believe you me, their standard line drawing does it absolutely no justice at all!!
