I picked up a Bachmann Skarloey & Dean dug uou the Thomas narrow gauge book to re-read than asked if there were any kit of the coaches

So I got 3 Meridian Models MPM12 Talyllyn Railway coach No4 kits for him to build from Narrow Planet
the kits can without wheels.

To make it a easy job for Dean I got some Peco N gauge 15ft brake van chassis NR-122B to use instead of the kit chassis. I replaced the Peco wheels with Farish ones

so Dean has got one body & chassis finished & the other 2 part built


Heres what he did to the chassis

I'd say Dean is doing excellent work on those kits. Please keep posting his progress.

once I had taken the last lot of photos dean than gave all 3 coaches a coat of Halfords grey primer

& just before I went to bed I gave them a coat of cream paint

& before Dean went to School we masked off the top half of the sides & painted the coaches blue
once he is home he will remove the masking & I will post some photos

Having never seen any of the Thomas books, I was wondering if that was the case.

I would say it's a very faithful rendering of the drawing.
