You've got to love the elasticity of Rule No.1. Perfect for our differing styles of modelling Dave. :D
Remember, I know nothing about trains. I do know a BLACK 5 is different from a Jack of diamonds though. :lol: :lol:

The auto coach project is now finished apart from one front step that came off for and needs to be glued back on again. :roll:
I forgot to attach the hand rails to the side steps before I took the pictures but they are now back in place.

All the external details added to the driving end. A very finnicky job.

Although I cut the standing passengers and driver down, it still wasn't really enough and they are taller than anticipated though the windows.
Ho hum...
I've got 4 more various coaches to populate and light so hopefully will get it correct next time, but need to obtain some specific resources first.
Thanks

Yes you usually find you need to chop off more than you first thought. Getting feet of waiting passengers sitting on a bench to meet the ground often needs the backs of their upper legs trimming away. Using some of the cheaper H0 figures helps get them into coaches or inside buildings.
Growing old, can't avoid it. Growing up, forget it!

Thanks Phred.
Well worth the effort (and frustration) methinks. :D
