A very relaxing 25 minutes.
Also, 'well done for winning the summer photo competition'.

Hi Peter,

Sounds like you've been very busy, it puts me to shame. I'm everyone would be very interested in any pictures you've got of all this progress.

Keep up the good work,

Andrew

What is your source?
I think several of the 1067 mm railways had a king coach, i.e. an Ao coach.

Yes, please. I'm looking forward to see your Norwegian railway.

Well, C is still the 3rd letter of the Norwegian alphabet.

Though, most words using C are names or loanwords from other languages.

The 1st class A coaches in the 1800s were a kind of luxury class reserved
for the royal family and other prominent travelers, and of course
not to be found in the timetables.
The 2nd class standard was probably more comparable to the later 1st class.
And, the domination of 3rd class coaches with wooden benches
was probably more based on economy and what most travelers were willing to
and able to pay, rather than any religious matters.

Anyway, after a quick search I found an ACo coach delivered to Sulitjelmabanen in 1915.
Thamshavnsbanen (which is 1000 mm gauge) also got such an ACo coach
which was converted to Co after WW2 and is now preserved, regauged and running
as Co nr 12 at Setesdalsbanen.

I will not mention photos.

May reappear as a 'Tertitten' line...

I like the Norwegian way of doing things, but the CAP gauge equipment was not really workable on my 4' radius curves, and geography is the great dictator in our yard!

More in a week or so...

Whilst I am working out the next move, I am having a bit of a track blitz. The roadbed has settled a bit during the monsoon, but not as much as last year which means it must be maturing. I now have just one small spot that has a flooding problem mainly because it gets the worst of the run-off from the concrete pad in front of the house where we park the car. The pad is shaped to allow the water to run harmlessly down the middle path in the yard - well, it was harmless until I put my railway in the way. However, unlike the now relatively domesticated raging torrent down the East path, this simply displaces a little ballast, and requires some attention from the sweeping brush before I run trains.

There is currently a 16mm scale Co (bogie third) on the workbench, which is intended to provide a coaching stock vehicle that is NOT a brake composite! I also need to check the little hardware store to see if they have teak wood stain. The hardware barn - I was in for two fence posts and a bag of cement - had mahogany, American oak, pecan, maple, kona, ebony, and neutral in three different brands, but not blinking teak. Asked the paint and stain guy, and got the good old 'no call for it, so we don't stock it' routine; followed by 'we do special orders for a gallon and upwards' which left me contemplating how many BCos, CDFos and so on I would need to build for me to use a gallon!

Cheers,

The scrap box all-third loosely based on a Nesttun Osbanen vehicle. This is the basic plywood shell, next comes an awful lot of coffee stir stick sticking, and tidying up! Sorry about the kitchen junk.

I suppose I ought to give her a history. No.1 was built c.1895 by Oldbury of Birmingham as a third-brake (CFo), seating 18 during the very short lived 75cm gauge 'boom' in Norway. Rebuilt at some stage as an all-third (Co), seating 32, later 30 when a stove was installed. Much favoured in winter for that reason.

Please apply the 6 foot rule when looking at my efforts. Actually 6 Norwegian feet would be better!
