A small train from Modelik.

Thanks Michael

For the outer wall panels to bend properly and fit the inner ones, I put separate card reinforcements. Each card part is completely flat. So, the card joints coincide with the fold lines and the joints are wide enough to accommodate some closing that yields from folding the skin part. In the middle picture, you can spot an acetate strip that extends over all the windows.

Great work Ricardo. I see that this small carriage consists of both 1st and 2nd class. Am curious to see what the interior differences will look like .

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks, Erik The difference is in the seats. Second-class has wood and first-class resorts to fabric covering and, probably, padding. I bet it was more comfortable There is a single heater, meaning that the second-class compartment is a bit roomier.
Well, when I said that this model is colorful, I was not exaggerating! I doubled the luggage rack supports to make them a bit more stable, particularly the S-shaped ones. They required painting on the back side.

Wow! Beautiful!

Exactly so.

Very tidy. Reminds one of the 'stove cars' in northern Japan.

Thanks for the comments
Access steps, wheels and brakes. Self-explanatory pictures, hopefully…

Inspiring work.

Thanks, Michael
Door hinges and the last brake assemblies. I almost always use previously painted paper rolls instead of wire bits. They may take longer to prepare but gluing them is easy and I like the paper look.

[Erik Zwaan]

Very neat, very neat! Looks to me that the doors can be opened from the way you prepared the hinges. The brake assembly looks very fragile, luckily it's underneath the carriage...

Cheers,
Erik
