    The Bankes Arms in Corfe Castle is a great place to have lunch and a few beverages whilst enjoying a day out on the Swanage Railway. There is a good view of both the castle and the railway from the beer garden. Cheers Darius

    I know it’s the wrong loco and livery for 1973 but the BR logo is also reversed on the loco… Cheers Darius

    Yes - once the coach body is on you really have to look hard to see the upholstery. Still there is the satisfaction to be had knowing that it is “there”. I’ve also found this method to be quicker, easier and neater than painting the seats. It’s also a lot less messy. Cheers Darius

    Whole interior airbrushed a wood panelling colour - plus a coat of acrylic varnish (Klear). Home made upholstery decal sheet cut to fit the seats. And applied to each seat. Armrests painted to match. Tabletops painted a lighter wood colour. Almost complete - still need to paint the floor. Floor painted. Cheers Darius

    I created larger fabric panels in MS Paint using swatches from the web and printed them on to white decal paper, sealing with spray on matt varnish. The seat upholstery was cut out of the larger decal and applied as a “traditional” waterslide decal. I painted the seat armrests with enamel paint (red and white) mixed to match, as far as possible, the fabric colour. I will show this process in the next post. Cheers Darius

    Interior fitted. Now I just need to find some more seats to do the other DMBSO. I know I’ve got some somewhere… Cheers Darius

    For some reason this thread reminds me of an episode of Frasier called “The Two Hundredth”. Cheers Darius

    Interior painted and upholstered. Cheers Darius

    I take it then that you will be “shunning” these locomotives when they become available due to the diabolical removable roof panels. Cheers Darius

    Do you normally use butanone to glue unpainted C&L chairs to plywood sleepers? I ask because I didn’t think butanone would work with wood, but I’ve never tried so maybe it does. Cheers Darius

    Composite coach interior painted and installed. Cheers Darius

    Torrington Heritage Railway Fabrics is also a useful reference site. Cheers Darius

    Your search is much appreciated. This is the sketch of the Griddle car layout - presumably by Colin - provided with the kit. Cheers Darius
