Nice, I have been considering the use of the new 1x3 curved slopes for the
tumblehome of coaches too but as usual I am far too slow!The difference
with my idea was that the whole side would slope in slightly towards the
top, how it would mate with the ends, I’m not sure.
|
The original version James sent me had a full curve sloping in at the bottom
and top. The prototype cars seemed to me to only curve in at the bottom and
I wanted to keep the window design as it was so I just did the bottom half.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I meant (either that or I am
misunderstanding you) My thinking was that the sides would be much the same
as you have them, but the whole panel would be slightly off the vertical, so
the coach is maybe half a stud wider at the waist than the roofline. The
section above the waist would still be flat, just not vertical.
|
That sounds really neat. Can’t wait to see it.

Where were you in jlug chat when I needed you. I wanted to know the class
number so I could find more pics. Anyway, this one is a MAGIC tender and
thus doesn’t have to be perfectly prototypical... :P

Well in the film it a was a GWR Hall class (59xx) The tender would be a six
wheeler and would give opportunity to do some Martin Nilsson 1x1x2/3 slope
work on the sides. Wikipedia
is your friend ;)

For a mathematician my skill at counting was sorely lacking. There’s always the
next version.
