I all so have the interia kit which is why the doors have openings in the lower half

 

well i have now got the Body kit & interia kit built

i was going to stain the wood as pre the following pic but the doors have the glazing in the lower openings which will look wrong as glass si i am going to have to now paint the body

I have orded some O scale end railing from La Balle Woodworking to replace the Bachmann ones on the chassie as i find these will end up braking at sometime

I put the chassis from a Bachmann Thomas the tank clarabel coach under my combination coach. Thinking of a Mantua 2-6-2 running gear under the engine with added domes to do away with the stretched look of the Vulcan, The Thomas stuff here goes in the clearance bin after Christmas and powered units can be picked up on the cheap. The coach cost me 5 bucks this January.

i never thought i'd see it again. i was given that same vulcan 2-4-0 and three carraiges kit when i was little, but mine was in red plastic, i nevre built it and i lost 95% of the pieces, but the odd little bits did survive like a bit of the boiler and the buffers which became part of my O gauge 2-2-0, the boiler and the safety valves
