Excellent Matt, they look great. You would not even notice the wooden bogies!

Do you reckon the supplier would consider making a smaller coach with bogies?

Colour me interested too. A short 4 compartment L&B style bogie coach which is a reasonable height behind an Accucraft locomotive would certainly appeal!

Have you had a look at these ? http://www.ipengineering.co.uk/page164.html

Or you could look here
http://www.grsuk.com/45mm_Narrow_Gauge-C142000 GRS's freelance kits are based on the full L&B kits and the accessories to detail them up to full L&B spec are available in separate packs. The "proper" full length L&B coach kits are modular and can be built short. They are molded plastic and acrylic though. But look great built, I have 3.

Magnificent work on those coaches there Matt. Max.

So I finished another model of carriage 1 (the original having been sold to find a loco) this time added some extra details

Very impressive.
How many more are you going to build then?

LnBmad · Post by **LnBmad** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:09 am

I have another carriage 7 on the go, and then there is 2 more carriages to build to complete the 1-of-each first stage.... than i can make a start on a second one of each.....

These are quite superb. Was there any decision on making them commercially available?

I believe the basic sides ends etc will be availible shortly. I offer a building service via the barley pit works (www.facebook.com/barleypitworks) and can make these to order if required.
