Railway coach Diner
« on: January 01, 2014, 08:21:34 PM »

28mm people do like to eat some fried food too. It was about time to build a diner!







The rooftop advertising billboards were build from scratch and lettered freehand:

Supporting underframes and verandahs were scratchbuilt:

Two windows were blinded and those for the toilets were glazed with red and blue:

The interior was scratchbuilt:

The formerly yellow body got a green repaint:

I installed 3 warm white light emitting diodes:

Wow! Now that is REALLY nice! Some serious dedication on doing such a full interior!

I can smell the food! Very, very nice.

As an aside, Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz was brought to my attention by a colleague today. The word, like your build, have a certain awesomeness about them.

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

I´d like to listen to you trying to say that!  :D

From Wikipedia: "The name is an example of the virtually unlimited compounding of nouns that is possible in many Germanic languages. German orthography uses “closed” compounds, concatenating nouns to form one long word. This is unlike most English compounds, which are separated using spaces or hyphens."

Excellent work.  Is the diner car scratch built or was it converted from a railway model?  If so which one.

It´s made from the body of a Bachmann On30 observation car - very much like that coach of mine, but with a different verandah and front windows on one end:

You can get the observation cars only in passenger train sets. Single ones are available from cannibalized sets on Ebay occasionally.

Say, where did you get the hex windows you tinted for the bathrooms?

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw them on the original car.

 :o

Nice ambiance to the diner Michi. I like your freehand signage.

But, how on earth did you scratch build the chairs? !!! Surely they were left over from something... more details please. (i may like to borrow the idea for my 'car').

Cheers

Cheers Matt, the chairs were leftovers from observaton car that used to have rows of seats which were all facing in one dircetion, the additional bathroom window was donated by one of the combine cars (coaches with baggage compartments) that I used to cut in halves to make a baggage car (which has no windows at all) and a coach (which has only one bathroom) some time ago. I cut the seats from the floor (one-piece cast), glued the backrests of pairs of seats together and arranged them in a way that every table was exactly in front of a window. The floor is a tiled plastic sheet made by Auhagen.
However it would be no big deal to scratch build such seats from plastic sheet. You´d need 3 (4 for a back to back seat) parts: Backrest,  (2)seat(s) and side.

Argh, my fat fingers have sever difficulty with the smaller details to cut glue and sand :) I will have to give it a try.
