0 BabyGM Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I used a Lima mk 3 It was nice and easy to work with because of the removable roof eBay is probably the best place to find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shinkansen Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If I were going to do this conversion again, I would start with one of the newer type Hornby Mk3 coaches as a base. Available new from Hattons (Stock code R4415B). The reason being the body + glazing lift away from the chassis all in one piece. It would make painting, reassembly heaps easier as you dont have to worry about chipping the paint. There should be a picture on my workbench of one of these type coaches opened up. I used an older Hornby coach for my egv, The standards and first class were all of the newer type. Hope its a help Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
