1928 Pullmans
Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2019 10:31 am
I wonder if anybody could provide a bit of of information for me. I'm using some Comet etched sides on an old Hornby Pullman to produce a kitchen third - you know - the one that Hornby already make nowadays. It's a training exercise for me as I've never gone down this route to make a coach and am enjoying the experience.
Anyway, as you'd expect, the Comet instructions are limited to a roof and interior layout and a bit of history about the coaches. The roof is my main stumbling block, it details the joining strip locations (not sure if the correct term is ribs?) and vent postions etc and only one tank filler, on the toilet end. Hornby's model has a tank filler also on the kitchen end, which to me seems more logical. So could anybody let me know if two fillers are correct or just one (in LNER days). I'm happy to purchase the relevant "profile" book if this would have this sort of detail in it.
