ChurchwardD56Toplight_09

An N-gauge coach body former to locate etches from a certain supplier, if you prefer not to solder, with internal compartmenting and minimal furniture for a GWR Toplight D56 coach "right-hand-van" (please see the C32 and E98 versions previously uploaded). Please check carefully against your etches in case you actually need the left-hand van. It would be easy for me to upload the other as well if you send me a message.
A roof is included, with holes to mount venilators in the correct places if put on the right way round (no vents above the luggage area or guards compartment). Roof vent placement seemed to vary a lot in practice, but these are the minimum set. If necessary, you can drill more holes wherever else you might need them.
You'll need suitable vent bits, coach bogies, wheels, bits of plasticard to fit into the slots on the end for the outside steps up the coach ends, and handrail wire.
Uploaded on request. I haven't tried it myself and cannot guarantee success.
2023-09-17 No update to this model, but I have just heard from someone who has UNEXPECTEDLY received a set of etches for both the right-hand-van layout and the left-hand-van layout, so I'm uploading that one too.

Please make sure you order the correct body former to fit the etches you have.
If your brain is going to explode, you could just order one of each (and don't mix the roofs up).

When you view the corridor side of this coach from the outside and standing the right way up, the luggage compartment (van) is on your right, and the passenger compartments on your left.
