Over the past few months I’ve been building a set of IP Engineering coaches. We decided to call the set the ‘Forester’ and they are the CFR’s Pullman set. They are nothing like Pullmans really but they’re called that to insinuate a more upmarket coaching set and are much better than anything else on the railway! Each coach has working lights so is ideal for evening running! I’m pretty pleased with how they have turned out, this was my first real go at building any kind of kit.
So working from the front to the back. The first coach is a VoR Brake
Next is an Atlantic Observation which has been cut down to a flat end.
Followed by an Atlantic Buffett coach.
Then at the rear of the set is another Atlantic Observation unmodified.
A couple of pictures of the full set on show here with my Roundhouse Russell.
Plus a video of them running on their first running day!
