The man reputed to have ridden in this carriage would probably have a lot to say to the latest tenant in Number 10 Downing Street.
William Gladstone was a Prime Minister who also knew what it is to split your Governing party on the defining political issue of his generation, and which also involved the very delicate question of the future of the island of Ireland.
Rather than relaxing by making models of buses from old boxes (or so we are led to believe the PM does) Mr Gladstone liked to use his spare time chopping down trees and seeking out so-called 'fallen women', to guide them back onto the path to righteousness.
Enough political references, however.
What you really want to know is that Himself has completed the lettering on the NWNGR carriage.
We decided not to bother trying to replicated the intricate, shaded letters, and have used just gold waterslide transfers from the Fox range, and I think they look effective enough.
All that remains is to source a suitable shade of pinky/purple paint to create the curtain effect on the glazing in the centre compartment.
