Ffestiniog Observation coach (Small Birmingham - "bug box"
Description
A rework of a 16mm scale coach; a small Birmingham type, belonging to the Ffestiniog Railway. Scaled down to 7mm scale, 16.5mm gauge and tweaked for the errors that crept in during this process. The sides are replaced with sides to make the observation car FR 1. A downscaled version of the Andrew Longman original sides is also included. This is designed as the overlay on a plain styrene sheet; neatly avoiding any texture resulting from FDP printing. (Thanks, Andrew. I'd never thought of that) The feature I enjoyed most is the lattice panels that are integral with the sides, made possible by using a 0.2mm nozzle and the finest quality setting. The wheels are from a previous, inferior, bug box model and run in 2mm brass bearing cups, of the type without a flange, that are pressed in on the pinpoint axle ends from outside.
