Trying to I.D D&S NER Coaches.

Just bought these via ebay.

 I have confirmed so far that they are NER Coaches. I forgot to turn one around for the photo, all have steps at one end and are  plain at the other end.

The floor etch just has the D&S Logo and all have the same number. No marking anywhere in the Coach bodies. They all have gas Cylinders fitted. I believe they are 7 compt 1st, 8 compt 3rd and a Brake 3rd all 52 feet long.

I am trying to find photos/instructions/drawings/running numbers/ roof vent layout for them so they can be completed please. They will be getting new bogies in due course !!

Thanks for any assistance.

According to his 1998 catalogue, Danny produced within his NER range

DS160 52' Elliptical roof Brake Third Dia 130

DS161 Third Dia 127

DS162 Compo Dia 122

Other non-corridor, elliptical roofed coaches produced, included

DS194 49' third Dia 178

DS196 Third Dia 111

DS197 Brake third Dia 113

A 49' Brake third to DIa 150 and a Third Lavatory Luggage to Dia 114 were also noted, but not shown as actually produced.

There were also three arc roofed 49' items sold

DS221 Third

DS222 1st 3rd composite

DS223 brake third

Not to mention the various corridor and/or clerestory roofed coaches.

Just had a quick look through the NER carriage diagrams, and there seems to be a problem.  Your models look as if they have arc roofs, rather than the more balloon-like elliptical profile.  All the arc roof examples seem to be 49 feet long, whilst all the 52 foot ones are definitely elliptically roofed.  When you say they are 52 feet long (scale) is that over buffers or over headstocks?

Just identified them via the LNER Forum.

"They are D&S 52ft NER carriages, they are all clerestory types:

Diagram 18 BT (3) - DS173

Diagram 14 Third - 8 compartments. DS 171

The other is a Diagram 5 Lavatory Composite with 4 First and 3 Third Class compartments. DS172"

 

 

 

Many thanks for the replies. Hopefully D&S can supply new etches for the Clerestories upper sections in due course. Unless anybody has some spares ??.

This is a photo of the poor drawing on a photocopied 2005 D&S Price of DS 173  list, it matches the Brake 3rd I have . Drawing is of the other side of the coach in my earlier photo, the ducket is the right of the Guards door.
