I went to visit some friends who also build model railways, and in order to transport the coaches I used the original box, see the photograph below. I find that working on models with others inspirational. But you also have to be very organised to make sure you have everything you require. When working with very small parts I work withing a plastic box, which usually catches any small parts that fly off when I work with them. I get simular help in giving me get up and go also I get inspiration from the work of others who post on RMWeb too.
I have now built the second class coach, the railway line in British Railways day had no first class accommodation. This coach was built using the same techniques as the brake one. The photograph below show the wheel arrangement. When I have finished the build, it will look as if the frame is not articulated, when seen from the side when running on straight or large radius track. But at the same time will allow the coaches to run over tight radius track.
The final photograph shows the 2 coaches coupled together. I now realise that the brake coach requires slight modification because the fixed wheelset is slightly too high. I also want to move the coupling out, to increase the distance between the coaches slightly.
I still need to complete the coaches, but I think that I have made a good start.
