That didn't work out as planned.
I'll just stick with what I know works.
I think these are what I want to run once the layout is complete. I like the old stuff. But... there will be a mix of old and new as I also own some early 1900s diesels. I think I'll be running freight with those. Getting back to these coaches below, notice there's no lettering, yay, that's for me to decide. Fun with decals, I'm looking forward to it. I can't remember the last time I put a decal on anything. I'll have to custom make them of course. I have access to a nice color laser printer at work so I just need to buy the paper.
The other thing will lighting the interior with LEDs, adding wipers to the axels to pick up the electricity. Possibly adding seats and people. This is fun stuff and I can't wait to get started. I may do the work on my lunch break at work as I've done many other things in the past. That said, I really don't have to wait for the layout to be finished to start on these. I think I'll want about 6 of these, that'll look really good behind a steam engine.
And so much for Conway, this will definitely be something else.
