Nice project St.Michael, Not sure if you know this link? It dosn't include your particular coach, but if you look to page 61 it may help with the curtains. No! not the absurd arrangement on model 3223, reminisent of an overdressed confection of the victorian era, but rather the rolled up curtains tu...
