Job done. Not a difficult kit to build. It even drops perfectly onto the chassis, and is retained by a tiny amount of superglue. The only slight drama was the roof, which had distorted slightly. A warm with a hairdryer and some gentle bending fixed this.
At the front I've used a Mony's Models (I think, he's whitemetal) figure with a traditional dustcoat. OK, traditional for the Manx Electric Railway anyway. We'll assume the VER is having a vintage weekend and eschew their more modern uniforms.
At the back, my Dad enjoys a ride.
This is a ModelU figure. He's a bit wedged under the roof, which is solid, not hollow, but just fits.
I'm pretty certain that this is a model I'd have been building if my Dad had been at Bournville show with me. He loved the VER, and we had considered options for building it in the past. Is this a precursor to a layout? Not at the moment, but who knows?
