They are quite scary to watch though in any breeze as the metal roof makes them quite top heavy & they do sway alarmingly exacerbated by my being on 32mm track
Paul,
One way to cure swaying coaches is to leave one bogie to pivot normally and to have two bolts either side of the other bogie pivot just bearing down on the bogie stretcher. They can be screwed up or down to virtually eliminate movement. It's the principle of triangulation. I used to do this with OO coaches that had a wobble.

Clever use of artificial grass on the raised section. Looks really good (and low maintenance).

Thanks for the comments but I must add that the picture of Beddgelert is on the Echills Wood Railway's 16mm layout. As I mentioned Beddgelert & the NWNGR rake is all a bit big for my garden railway but it runs & looks a treat on the bigger EWR layout. The artificial grass does look really good though along with the real slate walling, an idea I'll be borrowing when I landscape Candleford Green Station :-)
