Thanks Peter, seeing images of James' design really went a long way. He didn't
have instructions when I built mine, and I never did look at the Ldraw files,
but reverse engineering was half the fun. He got to see it in Portland last
year, and I think he enjoyed it
Yes 5 coach cars would be nice, but it gets a bit redundent building 4 virtually
identical cars. Perhaps if I'd made all the cars a bit shorter, I would have
enough dark turquoise plates and tile to make 5 cars, I think I have enough to
build maybe one more right now. My first car is all seats, the second has
bicycle stowage, and the third has the control cab at the back. I only rode on
the Coaster one time. If you can map out the layout for me I'll see what I can
do to be more accurate.
I read about the collision, were you delayed getting to work?
I also have a Sprinter I built while down there, it's next on my list to
photograph.
