Here's the first coach to break cover from the Workshop and one that's been worked on in the background for a number of weeks. This started off life as a Farish Mk2A BSO in Blue & Grey livery and it's had a number of mods, including the open interior swapped for a corridor interior, roof vent alterations and water tank added, toilet window amended and vent added, first class/no-smoking signs added (thanks to Railtec for introducing the 2mm-3007 transfers), wheelsets swapped for 2FS and a full repaint. These coaches plied the country in XC rakes in this livery throughout the late 80s before they were displaced to lower-profile workings by the Mk2D air-cons. Most of them had the window bars painted the same Exec Dark Grey as the upper body, but I've found photographic evidence of at least one with silver bars which is not only more visually appealing but also saved me a lot of time.
