Mk.1 Coaching Stock

Mk.1 Coaching Stock.

We are proud to announce these All-Metal Top of the Range modular and complete kits for Corridor, Suburban and Parcels Stock at realistic prices. Also accessory packs and sub-kits [including interiors] for Bachmann & other kit-built Mk.1s, such as Westdale, JLTRT & Easi-Build. 

These are among the most detailed coach kits ever released in 7mm scale and we have largely taken the decision to produce these kits following many people’s disappointment with the ready-to-run MK.1 stock currently on offer. They have also been developed for the ultra-detailed MK.1 stock that is required for a BR late ‘50s/early ‘60s era layout featuring a parcels depot and carriage sidings.

The price for these kits without interiors will be comparable to most other coach kits on the market, despite the high level of detailing. The interior kits will not, however, be cheap - being fully-detailed and consisting of many parts, they will add significantly to the cost. They will appeal to those modellers who desire just a few coaches built to the very highest level of detail.

BR Mk.1 Coaches - Complete Kits.
BR Mk.1 Coaches - Complete Kits 
These kits include all of our super-detailed end, gangway, body and roof fittings plus, of course, the relevant length chassis kit. They also include our own BR Mk.1/2 Series bogie kit [see previous page]. If you wish to use a more basic bogie, you can use the ABS Models B1, Commonwealth or B.4 bogies - but we think that would be sacrilege on kits of this detail but any of the kits can be supplied WITHOUT BOGIES by specifying this at the point of ordering. If ordering a coach kit without bogies - deduct £40.00 from the price listed below. 

These coaches offer many features unique to our own kits:

A double skin coach end with the inner panels fitted to the roof - these then fixing to the coach floor and through matching locations in our chassis to enable removal of both roof and chassis for maintenance purposes. This is also of immense help at the masking and painting stage.

A fully detailed cantrail/guttering arrangement that also serves to locate the roof along the full length of its interface with the coach sides.

‘In register’ double-skin window frames for ultra realism, that also enables glue-free fitting of most glazing - which can be removed and replaced easily in case of damage or scratching. Gone will be the days of glazing falling off inside the carriage - with access requiring major disturbance to your coach body or roof work , as everything is accessible by simply undoing four screws.

Cutting templates for all glazing panels.
