RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted March 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2013 I know nothng about LNER coaching stock and would like to ask a few questions. I looked for an equivalent to the brilliant GWR stck sub forum, and there isn't one. So where can I get info about prototype and model equivalents and sources. I want to build a mid 40 pidgeon rake ( see other post on this board). I also want this to be an excuse for rolling 5 different coaches, all LNER on my GW layout. I have a Thompson BG and a Gresley 61'. I would like a suggestion for the corridor 3rd brake, and possibly 2 other NPCCS - with corridors of course. I would have thought that the 3rd brake would be "elderly" and not prime stock for the mid 40s. Needs to be corridor. I then need to source such wagons in OO. Kit builds are a no no for all sorts of reasons, but new sides onto RTRs (like Comet) or even decent RTR that just needs modification. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

jwealleans Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 LNER Carriages by Michael Harris, Historic Carriage Drawings Vol 1 by Nick Campling and the LNER Encyclopedia would all be good starting points. Sadly there isn't a definitive work on LNER or constituent NPCCS and you will have to kit or scratchbuild the really interesting stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted March 25, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks Jonathan. No time or dexterity for scratch builds I'm afraid. And as for soldering- I can do many clever things, and can weld with the best of them, but never got the hang of soldering. I will join the dark side forum and see what they say - thanks for the tip.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 26, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2013 The Thompson BG is going to be marginal datewise on a GW layout. You should still be able to find Ian Kirk kits for Gresley stock and there are NPCS vehicles from Parkside Dundas and Chivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the pigeon traffic post on "Prototype" I don't want to use non corridor stock. 2 BGs BSK and 2 BGs in that formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
