Nice job; it reminds me that I sometimes think we don't use wood often enough, we're so focussed on metal and plastic. And the irony of how much trouble we go to in trying to represent wood but using metal and plastic...

Before I put the finishing touches to the V1/3 brake vans I finished off the V4
This included adding LNER lettering and then glazing and detail painting. When I built it I had drilled out the buffer stocks to accept proprietary sprung buffer heads, which I put away safe. Sadly in the intervening years safe morphed into lost although I am sure they will appear again at some point. So I did a first for me I turned some replacements from one of the many pieces of steel rod recovered from scrapping a printer. There was one length of just the diameter I needed so off I went.
Thankfully, I did find the couplings that I had made up at the same time so they were fitted too.
Just a reminder of it’s full interior before I stick the roof on.
