Do the parcel shelves have printed undersides? It occurs to me now that the interior is in place the top down view of the shelves won't be visible. As they are mesh and the luggage visible from underneath I wonder if they should be install the other way around?
T'is a minor point I think the detail looks tremendous and does make a huge difference.

Peco thought of everything. The parcel shelves are two-sided (once folded) and the underside has mesh under and the parcels, coats, etc are visible from underneath.
The problem is that you cannot see the underside of the shelves once put together and the stuff on top is a) flat and b) also invisible when the car sides are on.
But it's a good touch. If AMS were to kick in there'd be 3D parcels in no time
What I forgot is that I have a number of these Peco sets above the number of KM cars that I have. I should think about cutting the spare passengers, cargo, etc from them and use them to stuff the cars I do build. And I'll have passengers for the restaurant cars also.

If you had a scanner and a printer, you wouldn't need to cut those other sets up...within the rules of copyright, of course...you could even recreate some of your favourite people as cameo passengers...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

Yes, I can do that and perhaps a better idea to get them onto 65lb paper anyway.
That's a good idea about the cameo's ...
