James Ritson reports "I have finally completed that 1st/3rd composite coach I started last fall. It always seems to take me at least six months to finish one of these coaches, in part because they take so long that I get bored and frustrated with them and put them away for weeks at a time. I have built it from a Tenmille kit which they supplied with blank sides. It took me over twenty hours to cut out all the windows but it naturally matches the standard coaches well and I am very pleased with it. I have now started on one of the 1st class observation coaches and might have that finished by the end of the summer."
