Probably my bogiesNeed to add some weight to it as it seems to dislike corners at the moment.

The bogies are fine mike. They have minor compensation but then again my line is not exactly forgiving for these large carriages lol
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

I guess worst case is I move house and build a more forgiving and prototypical line

It's the 2'6" curves onto long straights that cause the derailments. Ideally I want to ease them all but mamod track is hard to ease lol

So while I'm still trying to work out the interior for carriage 1 (no proper records of seat layout in the observation end), I have made a start on the bracing for carriage 7. I need go work out where the doors to the observation area fit but am still yet to have been on the restored carriage to take the measurement from there this one should take too long once I have the doors sorted as I know the rest of the interior and have that all prepped ready photos will follow tomorrow when I have better light.

So this week I've come back to carriage 1 again after someone kindly showed me a photo I hadn't seen before of the interior in carriage 1! This has meant that I have been able to construct the interior and get glazing done. I have also added the much needed decals, leaving only the fitting of accucraft couplings, door and grab handles and cushions for first class to bring this carriage to completion. Photos show more of what's been done.

Interior is now finished. New couplings are fitted (although testing will have to wait till the morning). It will run without handles for a little while as I need to order some. Hopefully this will mean carriage 7 can then move to paint soon and the rake will really begin to take shape.
