Peco/Parkside Conversions

An accurate-enough version of the Stroudley D67 All-Third Suburban is available readily with a repaint and detailing of the Peco/Parkside MR Suburban carriage, and I have two:

D67 refurbished with electric lighting and in the latest umber livery
Original D67 with gas lighting and the earlier umber and cream livery

The main divergences from the build instructions are the substition of the original 10′ bogies with Wizard Models 8′ bogies, more accurate scratch-built trussing (and battery boxes in the case of the electrically lit carriage), and replacement buffers also from Wizard.

Technically the waist panel is too wide, but that’s not something I’m going to lose sleep over!
