Has anyone built one of these yet? Curious to know how the look on your lines and with your locomotives

Here ya go!
An Empire coach with a Darj, Ragleth and Deacuville in a working with swift16 goods wagons.

There aren't too many Empire coaches out in the wild yet. I guess, as ever, a few have gone into the store waiting for the dark winter evenings. The one pictured was built by Peter K. up in deepest Perthshire. He has a couple of them now and is now waiting on HGLW producing the combined luggage brake coach to complete the rake.

I hope that helps.

That's perfect thanks!

Does the profile of the coach look "right" behind a Ragleth - looked pretty good to be from that photo

Thanks

Well I think it looks GREAT with a Ragleth (But I would say that).
The brake coach is coming on nicely too. Almost there.

Very nice, I think a few of these might be required for the PMR.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Some more Empire coach pictures. This time on the Strathmore railway.
The leading coach in the lighter finish is my own Empire coach, the two rear coaches are Peter K's Empire coaches.
The remaining coach is a scratch build by Peter.
