IP Engineering Roundhouse 3 compartment coaches

For my birthday i got two coach kits from IP engineering.
so far i have painted all of one coach, just needs to be put together
I think the inside needs a darker stain finish,

a more recent picture is needed i think..


They are a bit harder to paint than i thought, all those little pannels..

I plan to fit lighting into the coaches, as i have loads of spare grain of wheat bulbs, along with a back lamp on the guards coach.

One problem that IP have not thought about is that you cant stick the battery box on, as the switch is on one side, and the batteries on the other, so i am going to make some cross members with the same curv as the roof  to make it removable,

add rear lamp
