Coachworks - The Project

The madness of the 'yearly project' is upon me; this time to make some freelance bogey coaches.

Rather than buy some expensive kits (a bogey coach is £120+) I decided to do some conversions of commercially available rolling stock.  On Ebay I picked up 4 of the Newqida coaches at £30 each, like this one

In theory they go round the LGB radius 1 curves on my layout, but not quite so some tinkering required.

In terms of conversions I'm leaning towards making them into something like the W&L Pickering coaches which were made by Accucraft....

Something to aim for 😀 At least with four cheap coaches to hack about and modify if one goes wrong I won't be too bothered.
