Stroudley Coaches Progress #3

Hi all, I'm sorry it's been so long since I made a post on these outside of Discord. Progress is good, and I'm very pleased with how they are coming along! Here are some highlights:

D45 Brake Third and D44 Third

Two coaches have been added to the arsenal, representing the ubiquitous D45 Brake Third and D44 Third, pictured below:

I am particularly pleased with the interior view from the Guard's duckett:

But there is also something to be said for the utilitarian third class compartments:

Destination Board and Set Numbers

Two styles of destination board have been created, with (up to) 64 destinations to cover real LBSCR destinations, Great Western Levels, and Portshaven branch. Information will be in the manual!

The earlier (pre-1900s) style we chose was the large boards above guard doors on the D45:

Which were later replaced by smaller boards in the central bolection:

For the convenience of the user, these features can be applied to the whole consist by adding a * at the end of the rail vehicle number flag. Again, the manual will tell all!

Set numbers are only covered for the 1900s livery and onwards:

Some Action Shots

Finally, here are a couple of pics of the coaches in action.

Please remember everything you see here is work in progress. -GAD Harry
