| 1. Place centre compartment at end of
coach side and mark out side support strut positions. Cut out corners of centre compartment, as marked, so it will fit in the centre of the coach. |

2. Cut out slot at top of centre
compartment so that centre roof strut fits snugly in. Enlarge the notch on coach ends with a chisel so that centre roof strut fits snugly in. |
| 3. Drill through the end panel of the
coach and counter sink so that the screws will screw into
the timber battens. Pilot hole the battens to avoid
splitting. If the end is not flush the sides, loosen the
screws off and pack out with thin timber packers (use
plenty of wood glue) Glue coach ends and centre compartment to coach sides and nail from external face of coach side and ends. |
