A client has asked me to make a model of the original FR Observation 'Barn' 100. It's to be the 1965 version (with 3 windows at the end) rather than the 2006 version (with 2).
Here are some shots of the carriage taken at Harbour station towards the end of its active career on the FR (although it went on to serve on the WHR before it was scrapped).
Although I've built a pair of 7mm scale ballast wagons the sheer size of this carriage is going to be quite a shock to the system. It'll be best part of a foot long and a couple of inches wide. It's going to be an interesting experience.
And next up after this will be another 7mm carriage - 2090, the original Winson brake carriage for WHR - which will be even larger!
