And just like that, a few days later, a new carriage takes to the rails.
Himself spent the week putting the finishing touches to the Pickering brake replica which looks quite the part posed at the platform at Beddgelert station.
When the body side is brass, as this one is, it makes painting the drop lights neatly especially challenging.
I'm also very pleased with how the resin cast lamp pots on the roof look now they're been picked out in black with the base ring matching the off-white roof.
What really sets it off, of course, is the W H Rly lettering.
This has been done by transfers, rather than the slightly raised metal letters on the real carriage, but at this scale I think it hardly matters.
I look forward to seeing it as part of a WHHR rake running behind Russell, and hopefully it won't be too long before that scene happens in real life.
