Lower saloon Heater

[Julian]

I am really disappointed with this part of the build. The heater control is totally wrong I have never seen a RM with the heater control positioned horizontal up the top where a advert was positioned. And the real RMs had it positioned vertical in the middle of both panes of glass. I was hoping to place an advert there but even if I did there is a big bump and it will cover the heater control.

Looks so unrealistic

I know it's a shame. Very disappointing but the overall model is brilliant.

I found this in the Haynes manual, I guess this is just an earlier version of the heater.

Well spotted I didn't realise they built different interiors thanks for sharing

If you find a way to do the final version with the lighted advertising panel, please post.
