Scratchbuilding an N gauge Gresley coach

[Robpulham]

Hey Rob! Thanks for the comments.

You're right, but carefully cutting the sides off the Dapol coaches they can be reused. Building non-corridor stock requires the compartment sides of two coaches, so as you thought, every two conversions will hopefully produce three coaches. Just need to find some under-frame details and decent bogies for the non-corridor stock!

I'm also going to try and be clever and turn my first two non-corridor coaches into an articulated unit (most likely a first/third pairing).

Steve a man of your talents will be able to produce underframe details from plastic rod, etc after seeing the great job you have done on that Guards Ducket.

Rob,

Thanks for the encouragement - I think you've got more faith in my abilities that I do!

The guards ducket is a piece of 40 thou plastic card filed to an approximate shape, it is far from perfect although the pictures seem to do this bodge more justice than it deserves...
