NWNGR Coach

I have espoused the virtues of the Dundas Vale of Rheidol Carriages for some time now. I had decided that the third one would be a rough representation of Coach 24 from the Welsh Highland Railway. This smartly presented carriage boasts a wonderfully deep red livery, which I have tried to replicate. 

Fresh from the paint bench



I have finished the layering stage of the painting process and will soon begin adding the seating to the interior of the carriage. 

The roof requires a few flourishes to ensure that the coat is even, but this has turned out very well. I just need to achieve a similar finish with the observation carriage and the B set will be complete for the railway.

On test with the VoR set.

Testing of this carriage has revealed that Platform 1 of Effans Uchaf can comfortably hold 3 of these larger carriages. I have three full carriage sets that are more or less complete and can be utilised together. I intend to focus on the completion of these carriages to a finished standard before expanding the fleet any further. 

The fleet roster will be discussed in another post.
