Detailing Examples
In the image below is a view of the coach ends. The luggage compartment end of the All Third Brake coach can be seen to the right which is fitted with a directionally operated lamp – this lamp is not removable.
The roof ventilators have been exquisitely modelled and are all fitted separately to the roof. The roof included on the EP models is that of the earliest livery. Later liveries will have one less ventilator on each coach compartment.
The Roof unclips easily to give access to the highly detailed interior. First Class compartments can be seen in the image below. The seating in Third Class compartments did not have armrests. This allowed for more passengers to be accommodated in each compartment.
You can also see a small plug sticking up through one of the luggage racks, this is to provide electrical pick up to the lighting PCB (not currently fitted).
The detail continues as you work your way down the body sides of the coaches. The commode handles are made from individually formed pieces of wire that are fitted to the model. The door handles are made from etched brass and the prototypical “T” shape can be clearly seen in the photograph below. The windows either side of the door have bolection beadings moulded into the body sides. The toplight windows are yet to receive their frosting effect, the remaining windows need polishing.
The under frame of the diecast chassis is not left wanting for detail either with braking apparatus, including the vacuum tanks, battery boxes and more on show. Some of the brake rigging is yet to be fitted to the underside and will be visible in decorated samples when they arrive.
The rivet detail is still to be added to the 9ft bogies but you can already get a feel for how much detail is going to be on show. The side frames are diecast to provide electrical connectivity from the wheels to the wiring housed inside the coach body for the factory fitted lighting.
