GWR Pannier Tanks: BR Autocoach, Part 2

Continuing from last week we have the completion of the British Railways 63ft autocoach trailer.

All of the handles, hinges, buffers, auto equipment and small details were added to the external model.

Then the interior walls and floors were placed with an eye to the varying seating arrangements for the four different diagrams that will be created.

Next, one of the sets of seats and all of the interior detail were placed including the drivers vestibule with it's set of controls that include brake, regulator, sander, whistle cord, foot peddle for the gong and the ATC unit.
For anyone who doesn't own our GWR Class 14XX Loco Add-On we have created a working trailer which allows you to drive from the coach with all of the real controls and bell communication system that a driver and fireman use when operating this unusual set up. The BR trailers and appropriately fitted pannier tanks with this new pack will use the same system and be fully compatible with everything in the 14xx add-on.

And for a bit of a change from the grey renders, a look at how a simple colour pattern is added in preparation for the first coach being loaded into the texturing program. The final versions of each coach will be the provided in this Crimson Lake & Cream as well as the later Maroon livery.

Next week we'll have more work in progress detail of this bumper pack... it could be the start of the 5700/8750 modelling or possibly the first in-game pictures of the 5400/6400/7400. Be sure to come back and check it out.
