The final stage was to cement the roof in place and attach footsteps to the underframe beneath the doors. I used brass wire to represent the vacuum pipe along the seaward side of the carriage, made up vacuum hoses and something to represent the electrical connections which you can see in this picture.
Unfortunately the vacuum pipe has to have a section missing to allow for the coupling shaft to swing with the bogie.
Some extra details have been added to the underframe as well. You may be able to make out the waste pipe from the toilet and also a pipe connection between the two big tanks.
All in all a pretty swift and satisfactory build.
