The second coach has now been sprayed primer grey and the chassis sprayed black. I hope to have a few progress pictures posted on here soon. I am aiming to have both coaches finished in time for the Moors Valley Gala which is Blackgang's next outing on 9th and 10th June.

Time for an update.

The chassis and body of the second coach is now complete, including the glazing and interior. Preparation has been made for the directional head/tail lamps for both driving cabs and plug mounting sockets for the connection from the powered coach into the dummy coach. I am waiting on the coach numbers and flying arrows transrefs to arrive so I can complete both coaches.

I think this unit will make a welcome change to the GTGs and show that G3 is not purely a steam outline scale but also modern image as well.

Hi Keith

I could really do with the coach and set numbers for these two vehicles. Flying arrows are now on each driving cab end.
