The finished mk1's

Completed a few month's back but not uploaded here is the completed rake of 5 coaches sprayed and lined for somebody. Painted as follows: 2 primer + 2 maroon + varnish + transfers (fox) + varnish. I don't think they look too bad. As he didn't want the interiors doing they have been left untouched.

Very nice, but, could you tell us more about the source of those coaches?

 

Are they kits or modified RTR? and if they are kits who makes them?

 

Thanks and cheers

Hello Dukedog and Steven, They are un-modded ready to run 7mm scale from Tower models. Too expensive for my taste (besides being the wrong era). The previous post may explain more about the process. The coaches themselves are well built (in china of course) and were spot soldered on presumably a production line. The only criticism would be the axles which are too high and do not coincide with the axlebox centres. Glazing is supplied with them.

Regards,

Howard
