Scratch Built Open Coach

My new Elias Steam Tram needed a coach to carry passengers from Milford Hill Station to The Engineers Arms.
So this is the coach in it's early stages. Apart from some signage the coach is finished. Video of it's first run here.
Second run, now with smaller wheels here.

A little more progress. The roof is screwed on and is removeable. The seats, wheels and axle boxes are not fixed
yet but it's pretty much ready for painting.

As the weather decided not to follow the forecast today the coach is now painted.

A few shots with Elias.

After some consideration i decided the Binnie 29mm wheels were too large, the coach just didn't look right with the tram.
Also it was sitting too far above the track. So it now has 20mm steel wheels running in scratch built axle boxes. A definite improvement.

Here it is pretty much finished. Looks like someone has already moved in!
