The latest project on the workbench is new FR carriage 103 - the so called 'Super Barn' made longer and wider to more comfortably accommodate today's super-sized passengers. (Compared to mid-Victorian midgets that is)
It's a new look for FR stock, blending the classic lines of the 1960's barn design with the recessed doors and vestibules of the current WHR designs.
I'm using my usual all-Styrene technique. The trickiest part of this build so far has been the roof. Unlike the WHR saloons there is no solid frame above the recessed doors, which instead have top lights continuing up into the roofline. This means for up to 10mm at each end of the vehicle there's nothing solid to attach the edge of the roofskin to. At the moment it's behaving itself and has remained reasonably straight and level. But it's only been there for 72 hours.....
