Interiors for my coaches
Decided it was about time I added some interiors to my Leek & Manifold(ish) coaches .....

Re: Interiors for my coaches
Great detail and I'm especially loving the speckled seats Rik - great effect - although I tend to be good at getting that effect on my clothes and the Domestics Controllers furniture when I'm painting other things!
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Re: Interiors for my coaches
Really great work Rik. They look fantastic. The description on your blog is really interesting.
Something else to consider once I've got my railway up and running. I take inspiration from the fact that you've been running your coaches for some time already. It just proves there are always little (or not so little!) improvements that can be made to a 'finished' railway.

Re: Interiors for my coaches
Excellent addition to your beautiful coaches Rik... I read your blog on construction detailing and then moved on to how you made the crests... wow!!!!! just incredible, the effort you put into creating those is mind blowing. How you can say you are impatient to get them fitted after spending so long on their creation seems odd to me but the effect certainly works.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Interiors for my coaches
Very sumptuous interiors

Re: Interiors for my coaches
Thanks folks. Very encouraging.
Just taken delivery of some more seated passengers from China - these took less than a week to arrive (and with free P&P!). Just in the process of modifying them to make them a bit more 1930s and will finish off that blog post in due course. Awaiting some latching circuit modules from China so the blog post on the lighting will be delayed a bit.

Hi Rik - do you have a source for your 25:1 figs?

Re: Interiors for my coaches
I have some seated passengers from China (from ebay) awaiting painting - will be interested in how you 1930s them Rik, as I would like to do the same!
Re: Interiors for my coaches
I got mine on eBay from these people - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/everestmodel/M ... 34.c0.m322
They came within a week - which is great considering the postage was free. These seem to have a greater range than some of the other Chinese suppliers
