Photographs of MK1 RK and POT Vehicles

[scottystitch]

Hi all,

 

I have asked Allen at Worseley Works to make up some etches for some non-RTR Mk1 vehicles in N gauge, namely:

 

RKB Diagram 25

 

RK Diagram 700 or 701 or 702

 

and 

 

POT Diagram 725

 

I have been searching Flickr and other sites trying to find side view of these to help Allen with drawings. I have Hugh Longworth's Mk1 & Mk2 Coaches book, but the drawings in it only show a plan view and one side view.

 

I've managed to find quite a few of the Diagram 25, but struggling with the rest.

 

Can anyone out there help with the others?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Best

I've been modelling the TPOs in OO including a 724 which if I remember is the same as the 725 in terms of side layout. I think I have some overlay artwork that may be of use. May not be 100% but pretty close.

As you may have noted diagram 725 were originally built with offset gangways. Once they were changed to centre gangways they became identical to diagram 724 (as stated above by Wild Boar Fell).

That would be of great help, and I'd be most grateful.

Thank you both for your replies!

Thanks Flood, took a bit of a leap of faith there without having the 'Mk1 Bible' to hand.

 

Hopefully the attached is some use (ignore the gaps between the sides and doors). Naturally this is sized for 4mm.

dia.700 RK were the first ones built and differed from 701 & 702.

dia 701 & 702 had the same body but 701, introduced 1962 had anthracite fuel and were all gone by 1968. the 702, introduced in 1962/3 had propane fuel and lasted into b/g into the mid-late '70s.
