Looking better and better by the day.

Love the driver's battered top hat. Other guy looks to be wearing a baseball cap?

Always got a soft spot for a coach with a tumble home body style. Your rendition reminds me of the four ex Tasmanian coaches used on the Puffing Billy line for the dinner train, here in Victoria.
