Description
| The kit compromises of laser cut plywood parts for the main body and a set of 3D printed frames to produce the Cleminson system. Additional detailing is achieved by resin printed parts. The running gear is Binnie NWNGR wheels, with steel axles, brass bearings and a set of our resin printed NWNGR Chopper Style buffer couplings.
Each part of the kit has been produced by a process that is optimised for that part. The dimensions below are all maximum dimensions, so over couplings for the length and over any detailing parts on the outside for the width. The height is from the top of the rail. Length – 500mm The kit contains everything you need to build the carriage, including our detailed and illustrated instructions. The only thing the kit does not contain is any paints and adhesives. As with all of our kits, this has been designed to be a straight forward kit to build. It can be built and assembled as supplied to be a great representation of the NWNGR Cleminson third class carriage, or it can be “super-detailed” to add even more realism to your model. Decals for these kits can be purchased from Endon Valley Custom Decals. Additional information about these carriages can be found on the Festipedia site here. There are a few images of the carriage in use, mostly in trains and there is a highly detailed makers photograph. The kit represents the carriage shortly after delivery to the NWNGR. The photographs of the carriage can be found on the Ffestiniog Railway Heritage Group’s Ibase website. Another great resource of information about theses vehicles are the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway’s heritage journal “Welsh Highland Heritage”. The demonstration model is stained with Blackfriar’s Golden Teak Exterior Woodstain, with a coat of Rustoleum Semi-Gloss Clear Coat. The interior is painted with Rustin’s County Cream Gloss paint. |
