Back to indoor flash photography.
Pretend you can see corridor connections ...
The silver dots on the main windows were handles to pull down the whole window...
A grey line was drawn under the lining to simulate the shadow from raised beading, a characteristic of these all-steel coaches...
The corridor side had hoods above the main windows, but the hoods on passenger doors had been removed in BR days...
Placing the above coach alongside the Midland brake third, it is clear both have a similar finish. I didn't intend the D1730 be so dirty. I think there are enough now in blood & custard, so it;'s time to move onto BR maroon.
