3mm Worsley Works Pullman.

 It is some time since I worked on the Pullman.

I always fought shy of the roof which looked a bit of a challenge.

However, after cleaning up the work I had completed I looked at how the roof could be shaped.

My answer was to file away the cantrail  at each end so the roof fitted between the vestibules. The excess over the doors was filed away with the result that a deep burr formed where filed.

 The roof then looked as the pic on the right. Removing the roof and packing with filler over the vestibule it was refitted and left to set for a couple of days.

When fully set the roof was carefully removed to make sure the filler stayed in place. Once refitted the end profile was filed to shape and then, when I was happy the roof was undercoated with Army Painter white undercoat which gives a slightly rough surface.

The corridor connectors were glued in place and the body and chassis sprayed with red primer. When completely dry the roof was glued in place with impact adhesive used wet.

The bogies were assembled, the MJT compensated ones, and sideframes fitted.  So just the underfittings to be attached and then the Pullman colours can be applied.
