A bit of progress..

 

 

semiopenfirstotherside.jpg.54e125fecded5133980e84e7164a47f8.jpg

Comet chassis built and painted. Stepboards to fit. Bachmann bogies in place. Roof detail and glazing to fit.

Body is in first coat. they fit together ok.

 

I have the corridor bit of the interior so it's the restaurant seats to sort out. Then some stones ventilators (the holes for these are very short.. not like the photographs in the Jenkinson and Essery books.) Then cut and fit the roof..

Add lining etc...

The Comet P II’s are lovely coaches I’ve built the pII composite( I think) and have a couple more to build when it’s warm enough in the conservatory to do so. All ways good to see your builds look forward to updates.

Tony Hammond made some great brass kits for this stock.
I have the lounge brake running on my line.
Looking forward to seeing this built.
Regards,
Chris.

Now it needs a trial run on Leeds (London Road) before it joins the stock on Shap!

Hello Barry I love these older LMS carriages, they have a certain presence !

 

Yes they do..even in the later "simple" livery.

Long time.. no visit. Lots of bodging going on but a layout under construction is now slowing progress (and picture taking has not been easy!

 

The semi open First has been running on Shap at various exhibitions. Very few visitors (if any) have noticed this "different" coach.. The second coach is waiting for my usual winter time coach building  time along with a lot of others!

 

I will try and get some photos of recent work completed on here asap.
