Glen's QRN relay van
QRN Relay van By Glen
Glen has used a Powerline Spirit car for this QRN relay van. In the initial stages of construction, the body of the car has been stripped, and the old floor, bogies and ends have been discarded.
Glen has started to fill in the required windows and doors. Its worth noting his use of green putty, produces very fine results.
As you can see ultra modern Barcoola is starting to gather momentum.
thanks

Glen's SCT relay van
SCT relay van by Glen.
Again one of Glens projects, is this ex NSWR RUB car conversion for SCT.
Glen started with a Silvermaz RUB car kit with a full round roof, available as a spare part.
Appropriate windows and doors were covered over.
Detail for the kit has to be inserted from underneath as the roof and sides of the car are now a one piece part, because of prototypes smooth transition from roof to sides.
Two water tanks have been added to the floor in the appropriate area.

Glen's RZAY
Hi All
Ultra modern rolling stock for Barcoola Glen’s RZAY
Glen has visited this week, an has bought along some of his handy work, including a RZAY relay van, features include.
Correct end detail with the vent in the old communication door.
Carefully filed A/C pod vents, on the prototype they are covered over with stainless steel.
Appropriate windows blanked off.
Skirting detail removed and exposed fame modelled in its place.
Moulded on steps removed, and correct re-built steps modelled, complete with plastic see though grills.
Lima bogies replaced with Walthers spare parts bogies, which have the correct lateral shock absorber. In the process glen lowered the coach to the correct overall height.
The roof is removable, so that interior detail can be added.
Buffer beam and skirting detail has been added to both ends.
