Etched Pixels / Ultima N Gauge Catalogue 2021 LNER Gresley Vestibule Stock

After grouping in 1923 and the formation of the LNER the company set about designing standardised coaching stock. One half of the design was for two series of vestibule wooden bodied stock one 61'6 long, then other 52' long mostly for the ex Great Eastern routes.

Printed Side Coach Kits (2mm)

These kits represent some of the 61'6 coaches.

The printed side kits include etched floors and trusses, plastic roofs, ends and ventilators, white metal detailing parts and pre-printed sides in full LNER lined teak livery. This allows the modeller to build coaches without having to tackle the complex lined teak livery. Bogies are also required. A choice of etched bogies or Dapol RTR bogies is available.

Full instructions are provided including notes on how to build the underframe without soldering.
