1939 Dia. H33 Restaurant Composite


Hi folks, time for an update on the H33.

 

I was fortunate enough to have a week away in Wales, visiting some fab narrow gauge lines. I’m now back, and of course cracking on with what’s on my workbench. 
 

My H33 is coming on leaps and bounds, as an evenings work has seen lining and lettering completed for one side of the vehicle, as well as an initial coat of grey on the roof.

There comes a point in projects like this, where suddenly everything is drawing together and it’s starting to look like a carriage again and I love it when I do actually get to that stage! 
 

Obviously still the other side to line and letter, and I’ve also got some Keen gangways on the way to fit. But for now, it’s off to bed after a rather taxing week back at work after my holiday!

That looks very good. They were attractive vehicles, I think.

 

The finish is neatly done. Can I ask if the lining is by hand or transfers?

Thank you, I agree that they are very good looking vehicles. 
 

lining has been done using model master transfers - fiddly but well worth it once straight

 

Below is also an image of the completed model, now running with my Hornby Hawksworth coaches.

Thank you very much. It's good to see that such neat coach lining can be done with transfers - although again that is also credit to you. Having tried and failed at hand lining coaches for some time now, I'm tempted to have a go with transfers.
