Worsley Works Park Royals

[Mike 84C]

Just recieved a W.Wks Park Royal open saloon kit. Any one out there built one? Any hints or tips so I can get it right first time! Many thanks in advance.

While not a Park Royal this is a build of a worsley kit by Eoin Murray which is very similar

I built one a few years ago. You can take a look at my workbench page 2 and see if that helps.

The roof is the tough bit, good luck.

My New Irish Lines article on assembling Worsley Works Laminates and Park Royal coaches is available on the Worsley Works Website  http://www.worsleyworks.co.uk/NG/NG_NIL_Art1.htm

The Irish broad gauge coach roofs is the tricky bit at the time I used Comet BR coach roofs cut down the middle filling the resulting gap with isopon and a lot of filling and sanding. Popeyes plasticard or ECMs formed brass roofs are much much neater solutions another alternative is to carve the roof from balsa with doped aircraft tissue roof surface which I used on a pair of Worsley Works AEC railcars
