Rügen set rolls

Needing a suitable van to accompany the Rügen coach set, the H&DLR has re-lettered the green DEV Fakultativ van into DR passenger livery. The old lettering came off with some wire wool (eek!) and white spirit, and then new decals were applied. A couple of coats of semi matt varnish, a touch of brown paint on the window frames, and into service.


The set, with van, is seen passing Dottendorf. The passenger coaches have acquired a few passengers - not too many, this is a secondary line after all. Just need to sort out some decent metal tyred spoked wheels for the coaches.
