The Ex LNWR M52 Driving Trailer has moved on a bit.
There are a few adjustments required to the kit to make it prototypical.
As well as the corridor being on the correct side, the other alteration is that the vac cylinders are both on the compartment side of the coach and not alternate like the half etched floor section of the kit suggests.
I'll be notifying the manufacturer in due course.
I've opted for cast brass vac cylinders from Sidelines, not that the whitemetal ones are poor in any way, I just prefer brass as a medium.
Wheels are on their way, so I can then get her up on her bogies and set up with a little compensation for running.
The dynamo needs a bit of adjustment too!!!
Here are a couple of pictures from my Phone camera, so please excuse the quality.
I have an interesting idea for lighting between the loco and the Driving Trailer, but more of that at a later date.
I have also decided to have a Sidelines D1807 in between the M52 and the Loco in Crimson and Cream livery. It should add some nice contrast and an interesting looking self contained train.

Edited to add that now I can see one of the corridor handrails has come adrift at one end!!!
