Gluing the tankers in place.

Figure 137: The build depends a lot on which side you are working therefore I used a tape to label the Head-A. The previous pencil mark disappeared  under the paint.

Will there be any kind of piping running under the frame? Brake piston(s), steam and air lines. I assume with quality of the kit so far, these items will be added further in your build. As Wefalck says, using a mirror may enhance the views.

With all the detailed undercarriage work, you may consider displaying the coach on a mirror, as it is sometimes done in museums ...

Yes, part of my head is thinking of a nice display solution, which allows under part as well as inside visible. The roof will be removable allowing to look inside. Maybe something like a mirror on the bottom and roof partly open to the side.

Right now I intend to build as far as what is available in the current kit. Maybe I dare to add other things later.

My previous method of flattening this warped part did not work very well (see Figures 138, 139 above).

 

I had soaked it, then clamped between two wooden pieces and even put in the oven 50 degrees (celcius) for several hours, but it was still warped, though less, after it dried.

 

So here is what I did: 

 

I soaked it in warm water for about an hour, then laid it on a wooden flat surface, then used my hot strip bender to treat the curvy surfaces locally. The pen marks on the piece are where the curves are. After treating those, I rolled the bender on all the areas while flipping the piece frequently until it is totally dry. The hot treatment took about half an hour. But finally it was well worth the effort.

Laying the carpets. In a real construction I am sure the carpets are installed after everything else, not while even the walls are not complete.😃

 

Figure 143: Carefully mark the numbers on all the parts, lay them in correct orientation and align them with matching carpets (i.e. paper). They are so similar it is very easy to get them mixed up.

IMG_8620.thumb.jpeg.b3727ec659a3986330e2eb59da345380.jpeg

 

Figure 144: I use this paper glue stick. Not because anything special about it. I just found this in the local supermarket. Works well and is much more convenient than working with liquid white glue on large surfaces.

IMG_8621.thumb.jpeg.5063ab2ade4b3f5fc0e29393864dbb18.jpeg

 

 

Figure 145: If you have been very careful with gluing the walls, these carpet parts will fit in their places like a glove. I didn't have to any adjustments. They just snapped in their places.

Figure 146: Boiler room painted in black. The area covered by the masking tape in the photo will be painted in matt white, at both sides of the wagon. After this, the wagon structure can be put aside until the bathrooms have been constructed.

Next, construction of the bathrooms.

 

This is another exciting chapter. There are altogether 10 bathrooms in the shape of a quarter cylinder. The bathroom is only a sink with toilet amenities. Otherwise the wagon has only one common toilet. 

 

There are altogether 10 bathrooms. Their construction differ slightly depending on where they are located. This means three different constructions: Those for cabins 2,4,6,8 are identical, similarly those for cabins 1,3,5,7 and finally cabin 10 alone.

 

I start with the first group just like in the instructions: 2,4,6,8. 

 

It goes without saying that the parts are so similar yet they are different, one must always mark them before removing from their places. A slight mistake will guarantee some size of a disaster. 

 

Figure 147: Parts lined up. These are for the foundation structure.

Figure 152: The was basins. They are made of die cast metal. I paint them to white as instructed. I see some videos where the builder has painted the taps to silver color, but I will leave them white just like in the instruction manual. I haven't made a research but I guess they were more likely white porcelain, instead of metal. Look more elegant in white.

Bathroom doors. One pair per bathroom. They are made of 0.4mm photo etched brass, to be bent to match the curvature of the bathroom cabinet.

 

The bathroom doors are identical regardless of the cabin numbers therefore I build all 10 at once.

 

Figure 155, 156: I use my DSPIAE photo etched roller for this purpose. I tried first with a scrap piece of same thickness and decided to use the 16mm curvature.

Figure 158: I over-bent the parts and then widened the curvature by soft hits with a hammer, until it aligns with the structure.

Figure 161: Doors ready for painting their inner side. The instructions address to glue the paper decoration outside first and then paint inside, but I see it too risky. Paint will definitely leak on the back surface. There should be no paper decoration at that time.
