You may remember that when we set out to model the Welsh Highland's replica Picking brake our first approach was to use the Dundas brass kit.
Himself got as far as assembling the body before deciding to change tack and switched to the Worsley Works body kit which has a number of perceived advantages.
Among those were the way it's possible to make the floor removable on the Worsley design, and it doesn't have a strengthening lip along the top edge, which was going to make it much harder to insert an interior.
It's still a very nice looking body, however, so the plan was to complete this second one with a view to selling it as a complete, painted carriage.
My part of this arrangement is to fit it out with an interior.
To get over the issue of how to get it in past the prominent lip, Himself had the idea of filing back a short section in the middle, which will enable me to build the interior in three sections which can be dropped in and then slid along into position.
So far I've got the floor sections cut to size and the three compartment dividers fixed into place.
The next job will be to add the bench seats.
