Project Railbus (5) .....adding the seating, trial assembly and ...

OTHER STUFF
Before starting on the seating, I added some ventilators to the roof (re-used from the coach I bought).

Then some running weights, using some lead strip from an old  wagon I scrapped

SEATING

The seating area made from plasticard is raised up to cover the top of the chassis and to get the seats at the right height for the windows.....

TRIAL ASSEMBLY

All bits were 'dry' assembled, including the glazing ... looking good... 😀

seats at right height for passengers to look out the window..
a view down from the front window.....(the driver is a little short, need a taller chap...)

ACCESS DOOR

Door handle and grab rail...
plus some steps to get in.....

THREE ASSEMBLIES

The railbus has three assemblies; top section, seating block and base with 0-4-0 chassis 

TRIAL RUNNING...

Out on the garage layout...
