Finally finished my 2 x Pullman carriages to go with my Flying Scotsman loco - don't the Meccano boys look so happy - many thanks to Phil at Scunthorpe Signs for supplying all the logos - 4 in all - the cream panels were always a problem as not only did the paint peel off the plastic PVC sheet but the sheet also detached - found some cream coloured waterproof card at the 'Range' which is stuck on with double sided carpet tape.
