I made an excellent representation of 'teak' panelling interior by using the cheapest brown wrapping paper I could find. It still has the mill marks in it, and looks very like wood grain.
I had 100% trouble-free construction with all three of mine, but admit that I went through a LOT of ACC adhesive and coarse sandpaper sorting out the floor panels. For the money, they are remarkable value, and make up into very respectable models.
Mine benefitted from the usual rash of exta parts, including Accucraft couplings [YMMV], Brandbright brake hoses and roof ventilators and scratch-made hand-rails and grab-rails and coach-end footsteps.
The nifty little Welsh dragon signs are cut out of Rob's high quality business cards, and, to my eyes, look a treat. The 'mind the coach end' and 'mind the step' white highlighters are bits of styrene scrap. The roofs are covered with heavy-weight tissue, as used by model airplane fans, and styrene strips. Note that these make up into substantial models - no lightweights, these - and as such they are unlikely to get blown off the track.
