They are useful for general arrangement and I believe they come in about the same size (little smaller in all dimensions)
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

No. They still have stocks of the white metal parts but no longer produce the kits

As I type I am watching glue dry on the final bits of the beading on the other side. Construction has been slowed due to a change in work circumstances, this will hopefully come to an end soon as new job begins in 2 weeks

Sole bars are already attached. They sit further back on these carriages.

Carriage no7 has received a bit more work. It now sits on its bogies and has the internal partitions fitted. Will hopefully get the beading done on this one soon as well and will paint them both at the same time.
