    Managed to find these - was worried I might have binned them. Looks like a few cut and shut opportunities here... Cheers Darius

    Pretty sure it was all 1st class. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Pullman Cheers Darius

    Hi Phil, I know the numbers aren’t right (they were on a Modelmaster sheet I had in the stash) but on the layout this train may be running in company with a Shinkansen and a Dutch double deck unit so I don’t think it will be too much of an issue Cheers Darius

    Got a few more to do and have some spare sides somewhere from the Indian Railways EMU project from a couple of years ago. Inspired by Gibbo’s examples, I may try a few cut and shuts. Cheers Darius

    Thanks Gibbo. I wasn’t aware of the bogie centre discrepancy, however as the bogies are riveted in place and these are a friend’s coaches (from his childhood train set) I will leave the improvements to the cosmetic ones that I have done so far. Looking at the interweb it seems that’s there were only four Triang Mk1 coach types: brake, composite, buffet and full brake. Is that correct? Presumably that’s the reason for the cut and shunts on your coaches? Cheers Darius

    One more on the way Cheers Darius

    There were eight coaches in the Manchester Pullman: four parlour cars; two kitchen cars and two brake coaches. Need to get back on this and complete the remaining three coaches. Cheers Darius

    Described as being an “unknown prototype” https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kitbuilt-NATIONAL-WELSH-RAILWAYS-3-Car-DMU-/392124095578 They’re not wrong. Cheers Darius PS - there’s a Scottish version as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kitbuilt-SCOTTISH-CITY-LINK-3-Car-DMU-/392124094738

    Momentary switches added to mimic panel ready for wiring up next weekend. Cheers Darius

    ...or they’ll help themselves to the contents and take a cut before they give it back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-45519994 Railway Companies seem to excell in getting themselves in fathoms of the messy stuff. Presumably their lawyers told them of the errors of their ways and possible legal consequences. Darius

    Well, you get nothing for a pair... Darius

    It did indeed - one of the easier "improvements". An awful lot of flash had to be removed from the interior molding. Cheers Darius

    Thread title changed to placate the literary pedantic. Cheers Darius

    Chiselled off paint demarcation lines (still learning how to do this). Primed and repainted coach sides with Phoenix maroon enamel. Repainted roof. Lining and number decals from Modelmaster. Snipped off old tension lock couplings and added new slimline ones. Replaced plastic wheels with new Hornby metal wheels. Re-glazed with acetate strips from an old report cover. Cleaned up and painted the interior. Great fun!!! I have a few more to restore. Cheers Darius

    My final model has now been delivered. Big thanks to Tom, Stuart and everyone else for resolving the delivery issues. Cheers Darius

    Mimic panel for the point motor switches to the storage yard entrance - used Tamiya masking tape and an old scrap of plywood that was knocking around. Meanwhile, waiting in the wings to test the helix... Cheers Darius
  23. Darius43
    Helix on test with the new Hornby Class 87. No problems up or down apart from a patch of dirty track that was quickly sorted. Cheers Darius

    The Bailey Bridge is a 1:48 injection molded kit by Wespe Models. Oddball, Moriarity and Kelly are white metal figures produced by Onria Miniatures. The tank is a much modified Bandai kit. Cheers Darius

    Some more 1:48 scale armour... Cheers Darius
