GW auto coach qustion

[Chris. D.]

Hi

 

Does anyone know the dimensions and position of the regulator backing plate, that can be seen above the driving window? I have a friend detailing one for me and he would like to add this small but important detail.

 

Thank You.

I’ll see what I can find out in the Lewis book when I get home, but the moulded ones on the RTR models in N, 00, and 0 should provide an accurate template.  I have an idea an etched brass one is available somewhere as well.

I can have a look tomorrow at work at the 2 we have.

Any use?

Thanks for the replies so far, I will pass the info on. The above photo, shows it to be somewhat larger than I was expecting, surprising how by changing the perspective ones perception of size changes.

 

Regards Chris.

Hi Builliednutter

Thanks

I was too busy shunting them for most of the day. I will endeavour but with the run upto our gala its going to be difficult.

No panic, as and when you get the time.

 

Thanks
