RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted December 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2019 Can anyone advise me what sort of Hawksworth coach this is in this picture by Peter Butt from the Cornwall Railway Society website? I would like to acquire a model of the original coach (in N gauge) if one exists to convert into this example. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkesworth Brake 3rd? https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/wrdeptcoach will give some useful photos. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Quite possibly this one https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/wrdeptcoach/e265e6c0a Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted December 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Thanks Brian and Paul. What confused me from looking at the above picture and a Farish Hawksworth brake third coach was that the window arrangement on the two sides of the coach is markedly different. Having now seen both sides of a diagram D133 coach on Paul’s site, I can see it’s the same type of vehicle.

Jamiel Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I wonder if it is the same (type of) the coach seen in this photo from the mid 70s at Dawlish? The roof profile looks the same, interesting white pipe, or maybe grab rail at frame level. I presume with a crane behind it.

Jamie I think it may be this early (1948) track machine or something similar https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrcrane/e16f037a8 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrcrane/e3009af2 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrcrane/e13d573b4 A track relaying machine. I don't think it is the same coach - it is one of those with a yellow end. There was a number of these conversions, I have several between DW150390 - 404 https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/wrdeptcoach but there were others https://www.departmentals.com/ Paul Edited July 13, 2023 by hmrspaul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiel Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thanks Paul The crane is really interesting, being a Midland/Eastern regions modeller, I hadn't seen anything like that. I had spotted the yellow ends, and wondered if that was just a 70s livery. It does look like the batch you say, DW150392 on Paul Barlett’s page does have a very similar colouring, very faded too. It would be a lovely train to model if you are doing the WR in the 70s. I must see if there is a good midland equivalent, but probably with not such an interesting crane.
