It's almost a year since the last post, so it's high time I get a couple more posts going on this blog. Those of you who read BRM on a regular basis will be aware of the articles over the past 12 months or so - creating the fencing, building a signal kit, weathering the station building amongst others, but that's the layout - what about the rolling stock?
North Wales trains of the '90s, usually had a Mk 1 coach lurking amongst the Mk 2 As. So, Penmaenmawr is in need of a couple - the trouble is, do you go down the lengthy kit route and build your own, or make something that is available 'off the shelf' better? Time is a big factor here, so for me the choice was obvious.
In the November issue of BRM (on sale October 8 ) you'll see how I modified and re-sprayed these Heljan Mk 1 SOs and added new seating, tables, passengers and bogies.
New seating ready to be installed.
