This coach is based on a Zillertalbahn carriage on the Welshpool and Llanfair railway. It is typically Austrian to run with 699.01 (see elsewhere) This is a 2.5ft gauge carriage and I have taken liberties with scale to run it on 16.5mm gauge (2ft 3in) so the width has been slimmed down a bit to fit my loading gauge.

(I stretched a ring of the mesh over a wire frame to give the openness I wanted and stuck the frame to it with poly solvent - I then cut it free and epoxied it inside the outer. The ends include tubes to hold the stanchions. I used MIG wire for the stanchions so you might need to ease out the holes.
The stanchions are bent a
