That's great John, many thanks indeed. I don't suppose there's a book available with scale plans of CIE wagons at all ? I have the one on Broad Gauge Coaches which is very interesting. Dargan

Friends, I have read on these forums that a couple of the OO Parkside vans can be reasonably adapted to look like those used on CIE. Now I'm aware that the solebars need to be placed further apart ( I plan to build them to 21mm gauge ) and that the buffer spacing is slightly wider than normal but what about the body itself ? Is that wider than its UK counterpart ? Thanks for any info. Dargan.

Hi Folks, Just thought I'd log in and update the progress on my Park Royal coach. I've tack soldered the ends and flat sided sections to get the correct width. Now I've started making the pattern for the roof moulding. I do quite a bit of resin casting in my spare time and have used this method before on other projects. Basically to get the tight corner radii I used some 9mm diameter hardwood buried half way with balsa sheet. I'll next form the shallow curve from some thin aluminium and glue it all together. I've copied the end profile on a piece of plasticard as you can see in the photo. . . .

Many thanks BSGSV. Just what I was looking for to enable me to build an accurate model. Now the next question, frosted or white glass for the toilet windows ?? From the DVD's I've managed to obtain and looking at photo's I think some sort of frosted glass was the norm. Anyon

My first posting here, so Hi to everyone. I'm building a Worsley works Park Royal coach and I can't seem to find a plan view. I need to know the position of the toilets (1 each end ? both on the same side ?) and also when did the circular window (which I understand ISN'T the toilet) start to get plated over ? Thanks Dargan
