That looks excellent, how about MOTY? I'd like to see how you achieve the vacumn setter as I need to make one too

I would MOTY this, apart from the simple reason that Peterborough is too far for me, it adds to much time and cost to the journey. Pretty gutting because I think I would have a better chance with this.

If you don't mind, could you provide some more detail on how you "upholstered" the little seats? I was thinking of a cloth covering for the first-class seats in my little "Gladstone" coach, but haven't gotten around to figuring out how to do it.

The upholstered seats are very simply, shaped sections of wood covered in material. On this particular carriage the seat bases are balsa wood, cut and shaped as required, as are the seat backs. The material is then cut to size, and glued on with PVA

Number 11 is done!!!
The ANLR's equivilent of an "accountants rebuild", my model of van 4/11 today had its first run since new years day this year. It is effectivly a new carriage, but does use some beading, the duckets, handbrake wheel, some seats and most importently the bogies from my old number 11. Also, thanks to another of my periodical carriage renumberings it now carries the number 11, instead of 9

Posed on the headland. Actually it isn't quite complete, there are still a couple of areas to touch up with paint, and also the transfers and the various handrails and door handles

The first test run, with my model of van 5/number 12 and the baguley

On its first passenger train turn heading into the tunnel

Gwydion takes the afternoon train over the pond
NWAG members will get a chance to see the carriage at the PTLR is this sunday, were one engine will be found to rule them all...
And for everyone else, I'm hoping to run on Mount Dowd on the Saturday of the Elsecar show next week, probably teaming up with DLR dan

Ace job and a fantastic addition to what's already a top class rake!
