A Joeuf Piece Pressed into UK Rail Service
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 3:58 am
One of the advantages to modeling Stateside is that most blokes don't know British rail from
Outer Mongolia; anything with buffers is from "over there," so I get quite a bit of artistic
license. This Joeuf viewing coach will be pressed into service on "Chops's Rail Tours," which
features tours for those wishing to catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster. The passengers
are 1/100 scale, so the fit better than their 1/87 counterparts. I was concerned the garish
oranges and pinks would look awful, but in fact, it just makes them slightly more noticable,
and not the feared detraction.
