RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2020 Question: the MTK instructions state that buffers are provided to the inner ends of the driving coaches and both ends of the centre coach. This spaces the coaches quite far apart. Can anyone confirm the buffer provision on these units? Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Darius The LMS diagrams as reproduced in Essery and Jenkinsons Vol 3 of LMS coaches show standard LMS 1ft 10 in buffers on all 3 coaches. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 21, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Decals applied (apart from destination blind). I should point out that, baring an extreme coincidence, the numbers are totally fictitious and therefore wrong. They were what I had to hand in the decal stash. Glazing and interiors next.

Great to see it being modelled Hi Hayfield, You wouldn’t, by any chance, recall what colour the seats were in the 1st and 3rd (second) class compartments? Long shot I know but I am guessing shades of green (3rd) and red (1st). Cheers Darius Edited April 21, 2020 by Darius43 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Darius Only 3 class when I used them, they were the standard dirty grey with brown red and green colours woven into the fabric, don't forget the pictures on the walls 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted April 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2020 Brilliant work, certainly the new grills are a master stroke compared to supplied efforts - at least you have some weights for a wagon. I have a 3mm MTK kit for and RKB on its way from 3mm Society so that should give a bit of fun. Thanks for sharing the build and tips along the way.

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks Richard and hayfield. The layout that my friend and I are building in his shed doesn’t have third (or fourth) rail installed but Rule 1 will no doubt apply.
