Work has started on the passenger carriage during our lockdown period. We have given it a coat of primer, dark grey and then Maxitrack red to match the Planet loco.
First we gave the new wood a good rub down after filling any small holes.
The first coat of primer was applied and then we sanded it again.
Next a couple of coats of dark grey undercoat in readyness for the final top coat of red.
The final coat of red completed.

We plan to place the seat on a thin ply base and staple the vinyl round and under it. Now it's time to put the buffers on....
