NER First (Diagram 68): This carriage was one of a series of 32ft six wheeled carriages which were designed and built by the North Eastern Railway in the latter part of the 19th Century. They used a standard underframe and replaced earlier vehicles. This model represents a first class carriage (diagram 68). The NER inventory contained over fifty similar vehicles in the 1890's.

This kit features:

• Laser cut MDF carcass
• Overlaid card Panels
• 3D printed roof
• Axleguards (D3D-05)

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 accurate laser cut layers conveniently assembled in our SmartFrame without specialist knowledge to give the same quality, or better, as traditional methods using plastic or etched components.

There are precisely aligned layers for the coach sides which reproduce window apertures, droplights, window frames, panelling, and beading. Floor, partitions, roof members, ends complete with steps and panelling are included together with pre-cut glazing. In summary, all that is required to make a convincing representation of this early panelled coach body.

Build impressive rolling stock using this kit as the basis of your next project.
