Product Description
This is a British N-gauge (1:148, NOT 2mm:1ft) coach body inner, to be used with Worsley etched parts coach sides for GWR Toplight E98.
NOTE- The Worsley Works N-gauge E98 kit etch is for the opposite way round, and will not fit this one.
Please see the link to the opposite one, below. Only order this one if you are REALLY SURE it is right for you. Otherwise just read the notes, as they obviously apply to either.
The roof as printed has no projections above the elliptical profile, so if it needs smoothing, this should be straightforward; there's nothing to work around or break off by accident. There are holes to fit shell ventilators (separate model, as their detail is too fine for one of the materials I'm planning to allow for the main model. Apart from the ones at the very ends, the holes are slightly angled, as they should be, and not perfectly vertical. There are also gently curved gutters for you to lie round section strip along, glue, and smooth to give a flat surface at a sensible height off the roof profile. The ends of the coach body have a trace for the corridor connection, and slots for steps to be fitted, for example cut from brass shim or thin plastic sheet. The underfloor has circular depressions on the centreline above the bogie pivot points, in case you need them as a guide. Whatever underframe you are using should provide the solebar depth and the bogie mounting points. The etched coach sides should then glue to the body sides, with window pillars lining up with the compartment divides. Fettle everything to a good fit before gluing on delicate parts. It is likely that the fit of the roof to the body will need some material removed at all points of contact first; no slack has been provided.
This model has been created on request - by someone who has previously tried out the C32 coach version
Initial upload 2023-04-30 CAD file version 04
Offered in White Smooth Versatile Plastic - probably best for a first try, and maybe best overall too.
Grey and ClearUltra fine detail plastic - smoother surfaces and possibly not that much more expensive.
Smooth and Smoothest fine detail plastic - smoother surfaces, especially for the roof and ends, but more expensive.
2023-09-19 No update tothis model, but it turns out that the GWR built these both ways round, in left and right handed versions, whichever you think is which. This one is like W6941 and I'm going to call it the right-hand-first-class.
When you view the corridor side of this coach from the outside and standing the right way up, the first class compartments are to your right, and the third class to your left.
If you have etches that are the other way round, and if it is the Worsley N-gauge E98 kit it almost certainly is, try this former instead:
