009 Coaches from Ratio 00 gauge sides.

 Awhile ago, Brian Guilmant gave me some painted Ratio coach sides that had been prepared for 009 use.

Over the last few days I have scratchbuilt the chassis and ends for the four coaches.There are two four compartment  and two five compartment coaches.

Once the main shell was built, seating was cut to fill all the compartments. One of the 4 compartment coaches is First class with maroon seating others have green seating except one of the 5 compartments having the centre compartment as first class in maroon.

The bogies are a selection of types which I aquired from the 009 Sociey S/H Sales a while back. Couplings are again an assortment of whitemetal and plastic as supplied by Woodworm2014 on ebay.

Just the roofs and underframes to do and they are just about finished-plus some lead!
