There are lots of fiddly details to be finished off such as the grab handles beside the doorways.
The vacuum pipes are usually a challenge because of the way I build my carriages with a removable floor. The hose is attached to the bodyside but the pipe run is routed beside the frame which is part of the chassis/floor unit, so I have to make the joins as subtle and unobtrusive as I can.
These pictures below show how I've done it on 100.
As well as these brassy bits the roof has to be fixed in place and the glazing measured and cut - which on these first generation 'Barns' includes scratching the window louvres.
All being well I may have some pictures to post of the 'finished' carriage (minus paint) on Friday.
