Open Summer Coach
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 12:45 am
Here's my latest build. It's a freelance bogie summer coach (may be there is one very similar on some railway - I don't know), that was built on the remains of my Locolines Corris coach. I screwed that up, because I wrecked a pannel cutting out all them windows, and because it was a special colour (trial one that I got for £20), I wouldnt be able to get a replacement.
I thought I'd make a Corris coach from wood, but it turned out like this instead!!! I may do one one day, but I have wanted to make a big summer coach (passengers complaining about the heat in the closed coaches in this Indian summer!!
), so I thought as it was simple to make, I could knock up a body in an afternoon. Here it is finished this evening (Saturday).
It still needs some finishing off, like a few paint touch ups, and logos or lettering along the side...
