WHR observation coach 2100

Post by River Lin » Fri Feb 03, 2017 8:22 pm

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.
David.

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 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).
