I was going to take a slightly softer line with the DMU, in as much as I'm not too worried about primary suspension, but feel compelled to install secondary suspension of some sort. Similarly, I want to install a couple of small motors driving the inner wheel of each bogie, but hope that I can modify the kit bogies to suit, I don't really want to go through a mass redesign/reconstruction effort again.
Still , I say that now, but watch that change once I start... :scratch:

Ross, Ill sort the bits later this week after the rush
As Heyside has been dismantled I have an extra couple of days, which is just as well as I had been getting ready for an all nighter 8)
The extra time has meant a slightly better coupling method. originally I had been going to use screw couplings but they are a PITA under corridor connections and I was a little concerned about push pull around the tighter curves. So tonight I have made a pin and hook which will carry current between a pickup in the trailer and the power car, make coupling much easier (nobody will see it under the corridor) and prevent any buffer locking.
Coupled
[attachimg=1]
Uncoupled
[attachimg=2]
Out of focus shot on a very tight curve
[attachimg=3]
The glazing went in both cars today,
[attachimg=4]
Tomorrow leaves just the cab to laser, then door furniture, followed by fixing interior and soldering a couple of dcc connections, oh and I must remember to turn up the lights. I have been waiting for some lenses to arrive but no sign of them yet
so something temporary for Manchester.

Just the one shot tonight
[attachimg=1]
Not much left now interior to fit and door furniture I shall fit the W/M vac pipes as a temporary measure until something more appropriate can be fitted when it comes back for little bits that haven't quite made it.
Lesson learned from this build? my time estimate was dreadful, it has been the equivalent of two coaches and a loco, had I factored this I would not have been faced with such a rush at the end

Re the interior shots... I can understand why the Driver kept the blind down behind him most of the time... well they certainly did around our way... all those people gawping at you
mind you I suppose the Bus Drivers here would be used to it.... ;D 
The lining looks good on the cabs. Is it just me, or is there a reason why only one of them has a coupling..? :scratch:

A couple of quick ones ready for dispatch - I just need to run through the dcc and it will have to do
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
vac pipes now being added destination will be fitted later, but some did seem to run with a white blind, phew!
I had a right job with the partitions and I left some out I will have to laser some better fitting replacements when it comes back.

Cynric,
That looks very well indeed. And I've caught up with my email today so you should have the info you were after...

Thanks chaps, It has been deposited with Dikitriki and it looks the part amongst the Heyside stock. Fingers crossed that it runs ok as it really hasn't had the testing it needs to be fully confident :scratch:
oh, I havent mentioned the dcc adventure last night still its going now
I have had an enquiry about building another still second time round is always easier

Ah, was that tweaking to an acme of perfection the wonderful rasping and farting noise that all true bog cart afficionados will be so looking forward to?
Sorry
Joking apart it looks great and I'm really impressed by the speed at which it all happened too
It will look even better running on Heyside - let's hope someone takes some pictures! (please)
