I am reporting a little further progress with the three coaches I have been working on. The Southdown ones have had a little further tidying of the paintwork (no photos as you cannot tell the differences!) while the H & D Bristol LS has had a coat of Tilling cream and some initial touches of Tilling green, plus the seats painted.

The Tilling green was used on the mudguards, wheels and thin strips between the chrome 'bumper' strips. It still needs another coat of cream and all of the chrome trim picked out.

Also on the workbench were two pristine Corgi Trackside Ruston industrial machines, a crane and a back shovel. They are not pristine any more!!! I have weathered them both down a bit. There may be a few more touches to do but overall I think they are coming up well and don't look too glossy and toy-like. See what you think.
