A1 Models Hunslet - Interior detailing.

I've knocked up a basic interior for the loco from odds and ends. I used some photos that I took of the cab of the Heritage Shunters Trust's 05 for reference. I'm not modelling a BR loco but I think that the basic cab layout was the same for industrial versions.It has been simplified, I feel that adding every detail would result in the control desk looking too cluttered.

Most of the interior has been made from plasticard offcuts apart from the seats, which are plastic 'L' section suitably cut down and shaped sitting on pivot pins from an Airfix crane kit, and the brake standard which is 1mm brass tube, a handrail knob, a short length of brass rod and a scrap of plastic.

The box which sits along the rear wall of the cab has two cushions on it, which are supposed to be different lengths.

Here it is on the bench, the flat piece between the seats is a gearbox cover;

And in the cab;

I still need to add the various knobs and handles and gauges but that will be done after painting. The interior will be added after the loco is painted.

Do you have a prototype for the pink interior? Seriously, though, it looks rather good, or will when painted.

White plastic is a pig to photograph Nick! The prototype did have some very plush cushions though...
