advice on carriages
Ok, in an attempt to make my passenger stock updated, varied, less shabby and more GER I decided to convert one of my 4 IP 4 wheelers into a 4 wheel balcony end carriage in teak. The conversion of the panel work worked well and is easy to 'edit' with a sharp knife. However the paint was a problem. In trying to remove the awfully tough paintwork the remaing panel work started to wear down allarmingly quickly and the sides are allready dangerously thin!
So to rectify the situation I have a huge bin of coffee stirirs 1000 approx that I bought from costa for a pound! What do we think of a match board coach that has tumble home sides and balonys?
I can then teak them up and make it a proper job!

I am starting to collect rather a motly rake of cariages,
theres the normal 2 compartment IPs
this balcony end
a penryhn open,
two bug boxes!
I think it could look rather nicely mish mash
I will add LASER cut balcony ends as well with DVLR writen in them somewhere!
