How can I fasten Worsley Works coach roofs such that I can remove them later (when I get around to interior detailing etc.)?
One way is to make a L shape that is attach to the roof & slides down the inside of the ends
another is to use the old Hornby way with a long bolt that go'd through the floor in to a nut that is attached to the underside of the roof
if the coach has partitions then these camnbe attached to the roof then add a nut to the bottem so a bolt can go through the floor in to the nut
have you a photo of the item I may beabel to work something else out
I always build them so the floor is detachable from the rest of the shell, Rather than building from the bottom up build from the tol down. With care the seats can be attached to the follow and the partitions slide down between them Alternately attach the partitions to the floor with a strip between them at the top to hold them in line.

I build them the same way, especially as the kits are designed to have removeable floors via the 10ba screw and nut at either end. The other thing I have done on some Leek & Manifold coaches was to make an interior 'module' (floor, partitions, seats, guard's stove, etc ) from sheet plasticard that is attached to the floor using another couple of 10 ba screws.
Thanks very much! Helpful and inspirational!
