PROTOTYPE. Most of the pre grouping railway companies built six wheeled coaches to similar designs. Many continued in service on branch lines until the 1950's and others were converted for engineers department use.

  This kit is based on a Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway prototype chosen because it is very similar in appearance to coaches owned by most of the pre grouping companies. Many Modellers will be happy to paint it in their chosen railways livery.

  The five compartment All Third coach is particularly suitable for inclusion in a rural branch line train. As most potential passengers would be low waged sons of the soil and would be looking to travel as cheaply as possible. Plenty of passengers could be packed into its five compartments on a market day.

  KIT. The main components are etched in brass, with cast whitemetal axleguards etc. A pre-rolled brass roof and etched door and grab handles are provided. As is straight brass wire and rod for handrails etc.

  A full colour printed interior kit is included to enable you to make up compartment partitions complete with pictures and mirrors and upholstered seats for your potential passengers.

  Downloading the instruction booklet will allow you to evaluate the kit and its construction and help you to determine its suitability for yourself and your project.
