Directors' saloon

[ge_rik]

I've always intended to construct a Directors' Saloon for the PLR but it has always slipped down the priority list until now!

My starting point is the GVT 1901 4-wheeled 3rd class coach - which has a single door on each side.

I've 3D drawn the requisite parts in the ubiquitous Tinkercad - made a lot easier by the fact that the 1901 coaches were based on the earlier 1892 coaches which I've already Tinkercadded

However, as it is a Director's Saloon rather than a bog-standard 3rd class coach, its interior will be a tad more plush.

The (dolls house) furniture was downloaded from Thingiverse and rescaled to 15mm (1:20.3) in Tinkercad. I'll add a few more interior details to add to the opulence (eg drapes and framed artwork) but, hopefully, it will look the part.

The requisite parts for the saloon are being printed as I write this. More to follow......

Every line should have a Director' Coach, the Claptowte Railway has had one for some time

Pretty sure in the Russian dominated days of East Germany circa 1981 my epoch such things were not around. Though I imagine the Stasi may have had something similar but less opulent.

I like the wraparound balcony. I can just see the directors waving regally to the masses from there.

It has taken me a while - a few snags to overcome plus family matters - but .......
