I have had a rather busy summer and have not put enough time into updating the blog so here goes a major update.
Summer Coach
This kit was given to me by my daughter for Christmas 2016 and has been mentioned in the February posting.

| The coach kit as supplied by Houston Gate |
The kit is a 4-wheel open coach that I will mount on 2 bogies instead of using the supplied wheels.
 |
| The bogie kits from Cambrian. |
 |
| The bogies completed and ready to be fitted to the coach with some more modifications. |
 |
| The coach body ready for mounting on its bogies. |
 |
| The coach on its bogies and ready for paint. |
 |
| The paint is on just a roof and seats to add. |
 |
| Roof and passengers in place and painted. The model is complete. |
The model, as usual with
Houston Gate Locomotive Works kits, went together brilliantly and runs well. The only problem I had was fitting the bogies but as these are not standard that is not a problem with the kit.
