Description
The Gloucester Bogie Coaches have been long awaited by Narrow Gauge enthusiasts and with development of these new models now complete, we are delighted to unveil this model in Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway Crimson and Cream livery.
This highly detailed model is packed with features; starting at the roof there are separately fitted ventilators and finely moulded rain strips. The sides of the coach have panelled walls with recessed windows, whilst the doors are also recessed and have metal handrails on either side. The ends of the coach also have a pair of windows and with such a good view of the interior, it’s easy to see the detail that we’ve incorporated inside, too.
The coach interior is fully modelled and decorated in cream and brown, with two compartments in each coach surrounded by vestibules at each end. The compartments have seats running underneath the windows along either side. The floorboards of the coach are amongst the many intricately detailed features, as are the supports and boards that make up the ceiling.
Underneath the coach body, the diecast metal chassis is fitted with brake rigging along the centre and pipes along the full length of each coach. The coach body itself is supported on bogies that are equipped with metal wheels and NEM coupling pockets.
