Always good to have new toys. You give the impression that the Anycubic slicer is only suitable for the rapid resin, is that the case or does it have a profile in the slicer?

I would agree the 'briquettes' are coal lumps. It's sometime surprising how large these can be when looking at 19thC pictures. I think we are more used to coal that has been graded for domestic use. I imagine machinery at the coal face produces smaller pieces that would be easier to handle mechanically, and there was precious little of that in the 19thC.

A little late in the day, but that GWW coach looks llike it may have rounded corners, particularly the right end. The shadow of the roof is the thing that's giving me the impression. The narrow longtitudinal panel bearing the handles and class also seems to look 'odd' at the ends if the side was flat. The only other explanation for the shadow is that the roof is wider right at the corner, possibly to project water from the rain strip.

Being in the same boat (although on a premier railway , I share your frustration at the lack of prototypical information.

Whilst I am here, thank you for sharing all your experience coach building generally and specifically on a Portrait. It is very useful and much appreciated.
