I’ve just finished the underbody work on a project I’ve been working on for about 6months

Southern Aurora cars

Eight cars (of prototypical 14) from a overnight service that used to run between Sydney and Melbourne.

The other cars are on my Flickr, click through the image.

62 studs long, 8 wide. So approx 1:43.

I’m looking forward to shows returning so I can give the whole set a run on a layout sometime, it’s too long for my home!

That looks really good. Googling photos of the prototype, it looks like those might be Budd cars (presumably built under license or a close copy). As an American it is neat to see them behind a pair of S-class locomotives that could easily be mistaken for E8's. Anyway, looking forward to when you can assemble the entire train.
