Update

Part of the job lot was a bag of sundry bogies and wheels which I hadn't properly investigated. Most of it, apart from the wheels, seems to be dross, but...



The missing triplet bogies were there!! Deep joy!

There'll be dancing on the streets of Lindfield tonight.

Cheers,

Chris

PS. The wheels on the middle bogies don't match the others. I might replace them with something a little less Poppingham-esque.

W hat an interesting model.

I'm presuming that the middle carriage with the whitened out windows is the kitchen car?

Yes, that's correct, the Kitchen Car is in the middle with if memory serves "First Class" dining one side and "Third" the other.

@Papyrus it looks very much like a Cavendish kit (later taken over by Ultima I believe) which dates it to probably late 70s/early 80s - what a fabulous find!

Fabulous find indeed! I sort of vaguely thought it was a Cavendish/Ultima product. I can only assume the seller wasn't fully aware of what he had; I would have sold the triplet separately if it were me. In addition to that I got 6 wagons and 2 coaches I can use, plus a few more I don't want and can resell, all for £35. Not often I get that lucky!

Cheers,

Chris
