Stock for Brent 1947 GWR

Go to the old Comet site and see if the PDF of their Centenary RF is still there. It should show the undergubbins and you can ask Rob Sweet about the tanks. There may also be a pic of the coach and it could be the side you need? 

I have the instructions, I just don’t give much faith in Comet when it comes to underframe bits. The tanks in particular are awful (for GWR at least), will pm Rob in a min and ask for a photo of his on the required side

I once asked Geoff Brewin about these underframes for these coaches - as I wasn't happy with the way they looked compared to photos I'd sourced. They are LNER underframes to get the gas tanks to fit. But they look too long between the queen posts. You can get the gas tanks to fit between a proper GWR underframe. The coach I built with the tanks was a H38.

These coaches had five gas tanks and they're a bastard to squeeze between the queen posts. You will need to modify the Comet underframe to fit them. I can measure the distance required if needed. I think I used just the ends on plastic tube in the end. It's been a while....

I found on my H26 that the comet castings were far too large compared with the prototype (no doubt based on a different Railways design. In the end I made my own, as I will for the H43 once I have measured then prototype

 

The underframe truss will be the Airfix moulding, so will need to check the queen post spacing is right

Ah, all singing from the naff tanks songsheet. Yup, best to make yer own. Large plassi straw anyone?

There is a door with droplight at both ends of the corridor as well as the pair amidships for loading the kitchen & pantry. On the non-corridor side the L/H end door is blanked off as there's a fair amount of cupboardage on the other side of it.

 

Gas Tanks - The originals are long gone as it was converted to Propane in BR days.

 

This might help though:—

That’s brilliant thanks,

The uploader mangled the plan a bit, hopefully this crop will be a bit clearer:—

 

Even better thanks

 

There’s a good photo in Russel to work from, will check later if I have the right diameter of tube else place an order tomorrow
