Another quiet evening at work, so I've found a few minutes to cut down the roof to the new coach length.

Thanx mate!3Valve said:Like it. Coming along very nicely.

Two very good suggestions there and both are ideas I have considered.vasim said:If I may add a couple of comments, please don't think I am putting you down. The idea is very good and it is looking very good.
May I suggest that the top light windows on the cab front be used as destination indicators? You could also maybe box them in at the back and light them with an LED?
The only part that doesn't really come up to par with the rest of the build is the corridor connection. May I suggest the rubber tube method that is used on most continental mainline stock with squared corridors which would look perhaps a bit neater and would enable closer coupling and less chance of derailment? A rubber tube down each side of the corridor opening and one across the top (as per the Piko 6 wheel coach).
Thanks Steve!Miamigo259 said:New corridor connection now fabricated for the coach, as per the ones on my NQ rebuilding thread. The connection is mounted on a new end section for the carriage with doorway and this should fit over the existing large hole cut in the coach.
I've done this one as a trial to ensure it fits before I make another two for Gizzy. Luckilly the dimensions worked out more or less the same as the ones I was producing, so I was able to set up a "production line!"
