Screenshot looks promising, but the NSW version needs covered end doors, and two variants were used in NSW - PCH and PCR.
Thanks Nat
That's my fault I guess.
I could not find any pictures of them working in NSW at least on their own. I completely missed the front door was covered.
Could you please direct us to some?
Cheers
Rod
Pictures are far and few between on line. Even in books they are quite rare, tho you do see them combined with the Budds (1100s) and after they were de-motorised (loco hauled).
I'm sure you'll agree tho that plans are just as good...
The 1200 would have to be my favourite railmotor...so it needs to look good

i found a picture of one yesterday on the net, but do you think i can find it today, anyway it showed one in Canberra yard of all places and it had the covers on it, which basically comprised of three pieces of rubber tubing. Was this proto or is this an improvisation?

.................................snippety snip!.........................
have been a bit slack in the last few weeks.
Cheers,

Hi Bill,
If this is what you call being a bit slack, DM Drake & the likes (Yes even Ben D) will have to watch out when your not!.
Excellent work Bill. They all look really great.
I have a question: Is it possible to make a copy of that amazing bell, but about half to 2/3rds scale?.
I have a 'need' for just such a lovely asset.
Thanks for all the wonderful work you do bill. :wave:
That's an improvisation (I've seen a pic of the demotorised 1200 with tubes). The ends were of similar standard to the Budds, 900s etc etc.

NSWR 'PCH' class.
According to Peter Vincent
To provide more railcars, two New South Wales Railways railcars were purchased in 1974. The cars were of the NSWR 'PCH' class. The two cars were transferred to Victoria on the standard guage during June 1974. The cars were transferred to Newport Workshops where they were modified for use by VR. These cars entered service about twelve months later as DRC42 (formerly PCH 1224) and DRC43 (formerly PCH 1227)

So these are the two numbers we have in Victoria.
All we need do is backdate them to 1973?

Well the victorian version is markedly different from the NSW version. As you can see NSW had recessed lights as well as the covered doorways. This will need to seperate versions
The external changes were simple but I will have to redo the interior for the NSW version
cheers
