New 009 models/1: 4-wheeled coaches and baseboard

New 009 Models/1

Three passenger coaches to start the rolling stock ball rolling. 
Dundas Models DM28's, and a DM29 with the guards compartment modification.  I have added clerestories to the two single compartment coaches.  Roof's are not yet fixed as I have to add passengers.

Although the weather here has been so hot, I have built a few items to go with the tram.  Three 4w passenger coaches (as photograph above) a station building, and a baseboard. A few goods vehicles are on the list next and hopefully a scratch built tram loco.

Livery for the coaches and the tram engine is Revell 350 satin "Dark Blue", Humbrol 71 satin "Oak" cream, and for the lining Humbrol 132 satin "Red".  I have always brush painted.


The baseboard that has been recently made, in the hope that a model railway will appear on it one day.  In two sections, it is 7ft long by a little under 2ft wide.  


The fiddle yard will be behind the angled back scene board.  In front of this is planned a town street with market, the line running through a town gate into a more country type scene running beside a road.  A station will be at the back of the deeper board with station building, engine shed and goods shed.
