Hi all

 

I've been looking at pictures of some trains on the whitby to Scarborough branch, I'm looking to recreate certain trains on o gauge on my layout. Ive searched in my books and onkibe but im lost at what to look for, i cant find any diagrams or marksfor the coach so could anyone help me or recommend anywhere I can find plans fir scratch building?

 

It's the first 3 carriages after the locomotive

 

Thanks ed

I think the booked stock for these trains in the 1950s was non-gangwayed BS(5) - CL(3:4) - S(8) - BS(5), which could be Gresley, Thompson (as made by Hornby in 4mm) or NER varieties. This seems to match the lower picture quite well, but with an additional strengthening S.

Ian Kirk provides excellent kits in 7mm scale for the LNER Gresley and Thompson non-corridor stock used on these services. The kits are mainly plastic, tried and tested, and very reasonably priced. See website: http://www.iankirkmodels.co.uk/products1/lner

 

Ian is a helpful contributor to this site and can be found with his stand at Gauge 0 events such as Guildex at Telford on 2-3 Sept.
