To provide a bit of simplistic 'emergency' operating for my layout, I decided a push pull train was a sensible idea (and boy did it help when things were going pear shaped at the start of last weekends exhibition!)
Looking at FR stock, I decided to go for the Worsley kit of No 111, which after the construction of the etched parts, I felt could do with a bit of interior detailing. A search of the interweb for reference photos wasn't great, but a forum appeal gained me some useful images, courtesy of Colin of Rhyd Ddu fame (thanks!) and I set about the interior, and so far have got the basics done.
The floor is thin plasticard (hence it curling, but it is a push fit into the chassis, and the holes over the bogie pivots are quite tight, so it holds it pretty straight, and the luggage compartment is held down by the roof.
The driving controls are just small offcuts of plastic to make a representation of the various buttons and the raised panelling/beading is just thin microstrip. I'm yet to make the tables, but the seats are awaiting painting, and are bucket seats from a Mainlcoach rage 'Coronation' kit which I made a mess of in my younger days!

Any questions, or comments, please don't hesitate!

It's a lovely train together - not one we'd see in reality as Harlech Castle isn't push pull fitted, or indeed has the correct couplings, so it makes it all the more interesting.
I still have the interior of 111, notably the driving compartment to complete, but it's way down the list...thanks for the photos.
PS not sure of the 'fame'! ;D
