Hi all.
I would like to model WHR observation coach 2100 as my next project. I can find lots of pictures but I need dimensioned plans or at least a list of main and secondary dimensions such as length, width and height and window, door sizes etc.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with this.

Hi David,
The basic dimensions can be found here:

Hi JMORG.
i found that thanks. D.

If you write to the FR they do issue plans.
Or they used to. I'd like them to do a book of plans for model making.

I'm sure a book of plans would please a lot of people.
I must admit i get a lot of pleasure from building my stock from my own drawings based on basic official measurements and photographs.
My Buffet Coach at the Peterborough MOTY was done in this manner. I was actually well into the build before I found the Bernard Rockett book. I am attempting NWNG coach No. 1 at the moment based around a very faded plan in the Caernarfonshire archives, a makers photograph and 1 photo of it in service.

Hi JMORG.
Great thanks for that. I will definitely ask for that list.
David.

Please keep this thread up to date with progress, should be a great project

Hi David,
Have you planned where to get the transfers from? Everywhere I've looked for transfers in our sizes brings up nothing OR a stupendous price (3 digits).

hi.
I haven't looked into it yet but if that is the case then WOW!!!
