Due to me having already glued the floor in ( I won&#8217;t do that on future builds) I was exploring unobtrusive ways that I might make the room removable.<\/p>\n<p>Having consulted Don who agreed that we should make provision for the fitting of passengers. &#8211; Albeit not that many due to the decline of passengers using the line in Don&#8217;s modelled period. I was still mulling over various ways of fixing the roof when I realised that the roof ends don&#8217;t quite match the profile of the ends of the coach. This is due to the way that Ian makes them by vacuum forming. When I say don&#8217;t quite fit I am sure that the discrepancy will be taken up by gluing the roofs on as originally planned. But if I attempted to screw them on in any way, I would be left with an unsightly gap at either end.<\/p>\n<p>A bit more head scratching and looking at the way that windows fit I decided that I could make it so that the windows cannot be dislodged by handling (which was another fear of gluing the roof on) and that if I fitted some passengers before gluing the roof down, it would mean that Don didn&#8217;t need to gain access to do it later.<\/p>\n<p>I had some Slaters seated passengers to hand and they provided a welcome distraction and rekindling of interest,which I have to confess due to pressures at work was waning a little.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2785\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2785\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2785\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2785\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2785\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4288.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4288.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4288-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4288-768x549.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4288-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kirk 51 foot All 3rd &#8211; interior details<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2786\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2786\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2786\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2786\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2786\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4296.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4296.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4296-300x187.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4296-768x479.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4296-481x300.jpg 481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kirk 51 foot All 3rd &#8211; interior details<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the painting of said passengers (particularly the faces) isn&#8217;t as good as some, I am pleased with how they have come out and they will certainly pass muster inside the gloomy interior of the coach once matt varnished.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2787\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2787\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2787\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2787\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2787\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4312.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4312.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4312-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4312-768x549.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4312-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7mm scale seated passengers<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you wonder why they are sat above the box instead of on it, that&#8217;s because I have inserted a length of plastic rod to enable me to old them while painting and and it will help in making them securely fastened to the seats when fitted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This last weekend saw a little more progress on the Kirk coaches.
