The brake third is now finished, I've added the missing "W"s to the coach number, lining has all been done and the coach given a coat of varnish to protect the transfers from coming off on my fingers.

 

The flushglazing has been added. Rather than paint round the window frames, I tried painting round the glazing before fitting, seems to work ok. Grab handles are from Comet and seem a little on the thick side, though I can imagine any finer and they would be prone to damage. Corridor connections have been added and all it needs now is a layout!!!!!!

 

The photos show the coach alongside a 57ft all third - made from kitbashing more Hornby coaches. Really gives an idea of the length of these coaches. More photos will follow as I finish off the others.

Have you got that book on GW coach formations and timetabling? There was a mention of the 70 footers in that one.

Only books I've got are Russell's ones on GW coaches (though all but one is in store angry.gif pending buying a new house in Redditch) and Harris's. However the notes that come with Comet's coach sides are very useful and give suggested coach formations and u can get them online from their site.
