Post by: Artie on September 11, 2016, 05:13:06 PM
I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this, Im looking  for a kit or even just advice on how to create the 1897 directors saloon as seen in the 1970 railway children film ? pictured below...HELP !!!(http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo168/muffinthedog/1a_zpsgexsgv54.jpg)(http://<a%20href="http://s372.photobucket.com/user/muffinthedog/media/1a_zpsgexsgv54.jpg.html"%20target="_blank"><img%20src="http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo168/muffinthedog/1a_zpsgexsgv54.jpg"%20border="0"%20alt="railway%20children%20photo%201a_zpsgexsgv54.jpg"/></a>)

The nearest commercial offerings are probably the Langley NE/LNER clerestory (http://www.langley-models.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Coach_kits__rolling_stock__76.html (http://www.langley-models.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Coach_kits__rolling_stock__76.html)) or the PC models clerestory that Etched Pixels do (http://www.ultima-models.co.uk/catalogue/lms-midland.html (http://www.ultima-models.co.uk/catalogue/lms-midland.html)) ... but you'd have to do surgery on both.

Might also be worth checking with Worsley Works to see if either they've got anything in N or in another scale that they could do in N.

OK so ive dug a little deeper and the coach pictured isn't the one I should be attempting to copy for my layout !!
Coach 21661 is the actual one and I shall attempt to load a picture, to be fair it looks slightly easier to attempt than the one I initially posted though still going to be a work in progress !!!
