Does anyone have drawings of the 56 foot coaches after they where modernised with the Aluminium window joinery back in the 60s?

Did you want AO big window scenic carriages? or basic 56' cars?

If so contact me off line

Hey Russ,

How hard would it be to convert one of your 56'er carriage to the AO Steel Panel carriage?

Answered my own question, after a quiet afternoon of filling, cutting, more filling, painting and so forth heres a second class 56'er altered to sorta resemble an AO Steel Panel Carriage.

Really need to organise some correct decals, like OVERLANDER etc.

Conversion of trackgang's 56'er kit.

Currently on my last kit and its going to be bashed into a ASO with the observation end.
