Nick Holliday Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 11 hours ago, woko said: Working up some GER 6 wheeled lavatory third Clerestory coaches that Annie kindly shared as I thought they look rather special, I am assuming they had a 6 wheeled clerestory brake to compliment this coach below.? I am also not entirely sure the roof on this carriage is correct as the drawing is a wee bit fuzzy there, so any thoughts from you knowledgeable folks would be much appreciated Cheers Rob Shouldn't this be on a separate thread? Seems a bit unfair to be discussing a "rival product" in Eveleigh Creations section of Smaller Suppliers! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveleigh Creations don't produce either, and I don't fancy my chances of finding the D&S kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in regular and main line use into the middle 1930s: Thanks Jonathan that image is super useful, i can now see where I have made a few school boy errors with the extra torpedo roof vents, along the roof, I know this is a longer bogie version, but I believe now there was only one above the khazie! On a side note I won’t be making these commercially available, along with the 4 wheelers, I contacted David, he said he was thinking of making his lovely 4 and 6 wheeled GER coaches in 7mm as well, so i don’t want to hamper plans for that and told him so. I am primarily building these for myself and the pre-grouping inspired 7mm club layout,, and potentially a few friends and folks who have kindly helped me out should they really want any of my stuff. I have yet to sell any of my stock if completely honest, and have only given stuff away presently to some of kind folks who have helped with my work, and I still really owe a few, not mentioning any names Nick I may one day put a bunch of stuff up if Din gets his site up and running, which would be fantastic, or even sell the lot as a bulk set, otherwise I just love building and printing this stuff to push my modelling skills and knowledge of pre-grouping railway stock, which has been fascinating so far, and I really appreciate all the knowledge and time and effort folks have kindly shared with me so far. cheers Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Annie Posted October 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Good GER clerestory coach pictures are difficult to find.

Paul Hello Paul. Thanks for the kind words. The carriages were sprayed with Halfords Etching Primer, then brush painted with a cheap and cheerful Burnt Sienna Acrylic (photo attached). I use a couple of coats with the paint thinned with water and a large flat brush. Then they were varnished with Kleer to give a gloss surface for the transfers. Once they were applied, they were weathered with Tamiya Acrylic paints, using a mostly dark greys with a bit of flat earth colour around the footsteps and underframe. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny still has the artwork for the GER coaches and produces them to order, so a nice letter might yield results. It’s how I got my four and six wheel sets and some wagons and horseboxes.

RMweb Premium icw Posted December 8, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2023 Well it took a very long time to get the round-tuit working, but I have finally used the first set of the excellent transfers that @ianmaccormac produced for us! It was a bit awe-inspiring having to get two layers lined up, but like many things, not as difficult as you think it will be once you get started. 8 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
