About this Vehicle:
The London & North Western Railway (LNWR) had several versions of Covered Carriage Trucks (CCT). According to an early LNWR diagram book there were about 140 CCT’s, of various lengths, in service around the end of the 19th century. These vehicles had many modifications over their lifetime. Many other pre-grouping railways had similar vehicles.
This particular type of CCT had a wheelbase of ten feet and was 19 feet in length. The livery illustrated is an approximation of LNWR maroon which was used for non-passenger coaching stock of the period.. The LNWR Historical Society http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/) is a good source for further study of liveries which changed considerably over time.
Some applicable vehicle numbers from the 1890’s diagram book were: 610 – 621 inclusive. (No. 609 was altered to incorporate perforated zinc sides and ends). These vehicles do not appear in later diagram books.
This model was created using information from diagram books, works drawings and photographs of similar vehicles. This kit is created with 3D printer and laser technology.The kit is designed to be easy to complete with pre-coloured parts.
This Kit features:
- 3D printed sides, ends and underframes.
- 3D printed roof
- 3D printed solebars
- Sturdy construction
Adhesive, couplings, etc. are not included.
A difficult and tedious task encountered when modelling pre-grouping rolling stock is the preparation, cutting out and alignment of the windows, droplights and panels.
This kit reduces the tedium, complication and labour associated with the construction of a detailed model of a coach body, using the pre-cut and coloured components supplied.
Build impressive rolling stock using this kit as the basis of your next project.
