The coach end wall at the cab end will be removed once the second etched side is glued into place.

Thanks, I recently tried to attach plastic sides to a coach and had great difficulty, ended up using epoxy and swearing.

Heavy work !  All looking very good , this glue " swearing" does activate glues to work quicker ? !!! :D.

 

As always sharp neat work and the etches have blended in well.   I look forward to more  progress - you do out strip my efforts but at least it encourages me to get on with it! 

 

thanks for showing

Yes, but only when it’s in contact with your fingers...

Worsley Works provides etched door droplights for 4 No. doors per coach but there are 12 doors per coach.  I made sone more droplights from plasticard and pre-painted them along with the door hinges that I had omitted to fit.

The Dapol coach roofs are no longer clipped down and tend to bow upwards at mid-length.  To cure this I fixed laminated plasticard to each roof into which a long attachment bolt is tapped.  The bolt is a bit too long so a laminated plasticard block was fixed to the chassis underside to accommodate the extra bolt length.  Fortunately all is hidden by the side skirts.

Thanks Pat,

 

I have since sanded down and repainted the edges of the roofs as they looked a bit rough in the close-up pics.  

 

Dapol use recycled plastic for these coaches and any over sanding tends to induce delamination so you have to sand sparingly.

 

Cheers
