And.... it's finished! No.1 of 4, anyway.

 

The roof: I used the roof formers that had been drawn, fitted to a sub-base. I laid thin strips of balsa wood over them, then the final covering is paper.
The underframes: Battery boxes and bufferbeams had been drawn up and cut. I used some BR Mk.1 buffers, which look right. Underframe trusses I made up very simply from some 10 thou plastic sheet. Couplings are my usual Kadee type.

 

Right, next project I think.

Nice work, I like how the interior is just visible but sufficiently discreet. Four of those will look good - you're not allowed to start a new project before they're all done  :sarcastichand:

Thanks!  I have to break up bigger projects like this otherwise they tend to stall.  A couple of cattle wagons, a bit more on my goods office building, and then another Barnum.

Yes, I see what you mean. Breaking down big projects into smaller ones with results along the way. Makes good sense.

Nice work, James. The Barnums remind me of continental designs with the recessed doors and large windows.
