Gary,

These are ex LCDR coaches.  What year were the built?

 

Hi Chris,

 

Yes ex-LCDR coaches, however they are modelled as post-1912 rebuild into a pull-push set. I'm not sure on the original build date, or how much would actually need to be done to backdate them. @Skinnylinny would know better than me.

I'm afraid I don't have details of these carriages before conversion, but there were four similar sets converted in June 1914. The CAD file represents SECR sets 267 and 268. By changing the beading on the composite, it could also represent sets 269 and 270.

  • 3 weeks later...

Apologies I mean't to post these a few weeks back just got super busy all of a sudden, I still have the last 5 compartment composite to finish, and add the couplings, but for the meantime I have had to turn my attentions to another project for a wee while!

 

Massive thanks to @ianmaccormac for all his help and the fantastic decals you see on these coaches without which wouldn't look half as good so cheers Ian they really are fantastic mate

Also thanks to @thegreenhowards and @MikeTrice just for their help with drawings and advice building these, im sure they aren't spot on, but thanks to these folks they are certainly better for it.

 

As follows
