RMweb Premium ColinK Posted December 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 22, 2023 Looks brilliant. At the rate you are turning out excellent models you could be nominated for ‘manufacturer of the year’ award. 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted December 23, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2023 Interiors constructed using plasticard and plastic seats from a job lot obtained from eBay some years ago. I ran out of the eBay seats part way through the second coach so I made the remainder from plasticard. Cheers Darius 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-Pete Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Love those seats, real craftsmanship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) What colour did they use on the First Class seating around that time (assuming circa early '60s to match the Trojan in Second)?

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted December 23, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2023 Would it be Trojan plus antimacassars by any chance? According to Wikipedia, the first class sections in the Class 506 units were declassified in 1960. Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Sounds likely then. I wonder if they kept the arm rests or not. I suspect not, though they may have left the partition between the saloons. Did they make one smoking and the other non-smoking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Darius43 Posted December 24, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Final details applied, interiors fitted, and peops added. Chassis weathering to complete. Looking at the box containing the Class 505 kit now… Wishing everyone here on RMWeb a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2023 Absolutely superb! You've done a fantastic job with the kit. Makes me even more sad that one has never been done RTR to go with the lovely Heljan 76/77s. Merry Christmas Darius! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halvarras Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I said you could do eeeet! (well, not my Mexican-tinged words of encouragement, I borrowed Rob Schneider's!) Officially not laughing now, you met the challenge in fine style - I trust you'll be leaving it on display to impress Santa when he calls shortly 😁! Another brilliant job Sir! Catching your breath now between Christmas and New Year, or is that Class 505 kit box already open......?! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted December 24, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think completing an MTK Class 505 kit between Christmas and New Year is a challenge too far. Then again… Cheers Darius 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
