Southend Pier Railway style trailer car in 009

In 1949 Southend Pier replaced their ageing railcars with brand new AC Cars built rolling stock.  These consisted of four 7 car electric units. Bearing in mind that if a scale model in 009 of the pier railway were to be built it would be very long (1.25 miles scaled down is a very long way in 4mm scale), and very costly. This particular print is for a unpowered trailer car, which could be used with two power cars as a three car unit or more by adding more trailers. The single ended power car body is also available through my Shapeways Shop. The body is a shell only with a cut-out in the bottom  to allow you to fit your own chassis. The wheels are more or less hidden by the side vallance so only those dedicated rivet counters would notice. The size of the cut out is 63mm x 16mm.
