Coronation

[papajoe]

Just bought a Langley Coronation body and Minitrix Britannia anything I should know about building it??

[Sithlord75]

Pretty straight forward kit.  Take your time and make sure you have some filler handy.  It can be improved with a better bogies - the Brit one is too short.  Looks the part but I won't be running mine with the new coaches or being passed by the new Jubilee!

I would imagine with separate handrails/superdetailing and mounted on a Jubilee chassis with modified N brass front bogie, it could cut it with the modern stuff....

gonna need more than a Jub chassis - two extra wheels to start with.  I would also hope the master has been done up since I got mine but I doubt it.

That's an easy mod to the Jub chassis given it's drawbar arrangement, and the wheelsets are essentially right for the Duchess. The spacing isn't quite, but you can't have everything!
