Model railway coach flush-glazing + passengers - Lima Mk2 upgrade part 3

Описание: To complete my short series upgrading an old Lima Mk2 coach, I’ve improved the glazing and added some passengers to make the most of my 3D printed interior and lighting.

The old Lima is let down by the thick plastic windows and deep set frames, so in this video I replace them with South Eastern Finecast flush glaze windows, walking through how to remove the old glazing and all the modifications required to get the new ones to fit – not difficult, but time consuming.

I also share a quick-win solution using simple acetate sheet – either for an easy alternative, or as a half-way house to fitting the full flush glazing later.

Then, to finish, adding some inexpensive passenger figures, repainted for extra realism, and decals for the windows, bringing the whole coach to life – now clearly visible in the illuminated interior through the improved glazing.
