| D91 | Second |  The LNWR built large
numbers of 4 wheel "suburban" coaches in the 19th century. The
prototypes for these models were built to a variety of diagrams between
1892 and 1900 and formed into sets for use on services to Mansion
House, and the Birmingham and South Wales areas. Although the same
coach body style was used, three different underframe designs, with
different wheelbase were built, resulting in different Diagram Numbers
for otherwise identical looking carriages. A number of them lasted as
late as 1938, receiving LMS livery and numbers. The Mansion House Sets
were finished in varnished teak to resist the smoke laden atmosphere of
the sub-surface lines. They became generally known as the "Brown
Trains". The other sets were painted in the standard LNWR carriage
livery. Although close up photographs are not easily found, detailed
written information of these carriages is available in the L&NWR
Society Premier Portfolio No.7.
The kit is etched in brass, with a preformed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fittings. The underframe has built in compensation to allow for the long wheelbase. Please note. At present we are unable to supply the correct 17ft wheelbase bulb angle-iron underframe for the South Wales versions and it will be some time before these are available. For those who are desperate, the 17ft channel section underframe can be supplied. |

| 42' Arc Roof Carriages As passenger traffic developed, the LNWR introduced the 42' radial underframe carriage, as the logical development of the 4 and 6 wheel coach, from 1882. From 1893, bogie underframes were introduced, some older carriages being converted, as well as new stock being built. The majority of the carriages listed were built as bogie underframe from new, a few being radial conversions. Many lasted well into the 1930's some getting as far as 1945/6. These kits have an etched brass body and underframe; cast whitemetal bogies and detail components and a preformed plasticard roof. These are a good etched kit for the beginner to etched coach kit construction. |

| D249 | Lavatory brake composite | D221 Lavatory Brake Composite Slip & D249 Lavatory Brake Composite Carriages Diagrams D221 and D249 were the only arc roof lavatory carriages built to a length of 50 feet. Originally built as D221 Slip tri-composites in 1901, these nine carriages were altered to Diagram 249 before the grouping, although the exact date is unclear. They were withdrawn between 1934 and 1952, so D249 is appropriate for LMS and early BR period modellers. The carriage layouts were identical, with the exception of the differences to the ends to cope with the different requirements of slip working. In addition, the slip carriages were given raised “birdcages” at the brake end. They were gaslit when new, but adapted to electric lighting from around 1910. These kits have etched sides, ends and body details; Ratio plastic underframes and bogies; a pre-formed plasticard roof and whitemetal components. The kit for D221 includes etched components for the raised birdcage. They are ideally suited to the beginner to etched kits, whilst providing a sufficiently detailed and accurate model to satisfy the more experienced modeller. |

| 50' Cove Roof Lavatory Carriages These kits are based on carriages which first appeared in 1905, four sets being built for use on the London - Rugby service, one set staying together until at least 1927. When the sets were divided the separate carriages were used on the same type of working ie, longer distance suburban services until they were withdrawn c.1944/55. The kits available allow a complete prototypical set to be modelled, while the first class and third class coaches were also used in other sets. These kits comprise finely etched brass sides, ends, compartment partitions, underframe, battery boxes, etc. The roof is an aluminium extrusion and Ratio LNWR 8’0” plastic bogie mouldings are provided, together with cast brass buffers, vacuum and steam pipes. The roof detailing components are in cast whitemetal. |

| D77 | 42' Picnic Saloon Picnic saloons were available for hire for day outings and the 42' arc roof version to D77 were the biggest single derivative. Fifty five were built between 1898 and 1900, the last surviving to 1946. Almost any layout can justifiably run one of these delightful coaches. The interior of the coach is well illustrated, both by photograph and a drawing, in David Jenkinson's "Illustrated History of L.N.W.R.. Coaches". The kit has an etched brass body, underframe and rigid (i.e. non-working) corridor connections; Ratio plastic bogies; whitemetal detail components and a preformed plasticard roof. |

| D81 | WCJS/LNWR 42' Bogie Full Brake. 27 were built as built as West Coast Joint Stock (shared with the Caledonian Railway on London/Scottish services) between 1891 and 1895, they would have been down graded in later years for normal LNWR/Caley use. Six were originally fitted with Lansdown side corridor connections for use as postal vans, the brake vans having plain ends. Centre gangways were fitted to the brake vans after 1905, as represented by the kit. The kit is as the D77 Picnic Saloon, except that cast whitemetal truss rod bogies are supplied, rather than the Ratio plastic mouldings. The ogees are cast whitemetal, as these are easier to fit than assembling fold up etched components. |

| BST | LNWR 45' Scenery Truck D46 Built at the end of the Nineteenth Century, these bogie scenery trucks were mounted on underframes identical to the 45ft carriages. They were dual fitted with Westinghouse as well as vacuum brakes to work over the Caledonian Railway. They had slatted wood floors and loading plates which extended over the buffer bodies. Although the LMS later modified five of them for use with parcel containers, in LNWR days, they would be used to carry horse drawn scenery trucks of touring theatrical companies. The kit includes brass etches for the underframe and body, cast brass buffers and cast whitemetal bogies and other fittings. |

| D80/D381 | LNWR D80/WCJS D381 - 45' FULL BRAKE 102 of these 45' vehicles were built for the LNWR and a further 35 for the WCJS. They were there a relatively common sight and represent a prototype worth modelling. Essentially these were just a longer version of the 42' type. All the WCJS vehicles lasted into LMS ownership as did most if not all of the LNWR vehicles. The kit represents the type built with truss rod bogies and identical sides, as opposed to the mirror image version. One of the WCJS brakes became the property of the MGNR. Although it never carried it's MGN number it became LNER Diagram 36E, number 84000. Later it received BR number 6312 and was scrapped in 1953. A rare opportunity for the LNER modeller to genuinely run a LNWR prototype. The kit include centre corridor connectors and ends, as well as plain ends, so that they can be modelled in several variations. Otherwise the kits are as the D77 Picnic Saloon, except that cast whitemetal truss rod bogies are supplied, rather than the Ratio plastic mouldings. The ogees are cast whitemetal, as these are easier to fit than assembling fold up etched components. |
£34.00 | |
| M58 | Corridor Open Third Motor Driver | £31.50 | |
| M71 | 50' Cove Roof Motor Driver. These carriages were all converted for push pull work from non-corridor brake thirds LNWR Diagram 338. There were 9 coaches in this diagram, 8 being converted circa 1912/13 and one in 1931. The 1912 conversions were built to work in four coach sets with a loco in the middle of the set. The most common companion vehicle was either an M57 cove roof third or an M29 cove roof composite. Later they operated as two coach sets, while in late LMS and early BR they worked singly or in tandem with almost any type of motor fitted carriage. The last vehicle was scrapped in 1955. These kits comprise finely etched brass sides, ends, compartment partitions, underframe, battery boxes, etc. The roof is an aluminium extrusion and Ratio LNWR 8’0” plastic bogie mouldings are provided, together with cast brass buffers, vacuum and steam pipes. The roof detailing components are in cast whitemetal. |

| 6WLV | 26' LUGGAGE VAN The LNWR built 112 six wheel vans between 1869 and 1873. They set the style for this type of vehicle, with a centre guards door and ducket (ogee) and double luggage compartment doors towards each end. The kit represents the early versions that had a low arc roof with beaded end panelling. They were originally 6 wheeled but some were later modified to a 4-wheel underframe. They generally lasted until 1903-06, although a few survived for a several more years as service stock. The body is etched brass, with a vacuum-formed plasticard roof. White metal castings provide the roof and other details. The kit incorporates a six-wheel underframe with a suspension system. |
£23.00 | |
| 6WMV | 26' MILK VAN A number of the 26' Luggage Vans were rebuilt in the early 1890's as Milk Vans, as a result of the great increase in the amount of perishable traffic, which required ventilated vehicles. The rebuild involved putting louvres in all the upper side panels (except the doors) and removing the dog boxes at either end. Like the Luggage Vans, they generally lasted until 1903-06 and some were later modified to have a 4 wheel underframe. The body is etched brass, with a vacuum-formed plasticard roof. White metal castings provide the roof and other details. The kit incorporates a six-wheel underframe with a suspension system. This can be modified to the four-wheel version, as described by Bob Williams in Your Model Railway, March 1986. |
Temporarily Not Available |  |
| BTW | D96 Trolley Wagon Built to carry boilers and other large, heavy loads, these bogie wagons were built from heavily riveted steel plate. The kit includes brass etches for the underframe and body, cast brass buffers, bogie supports, brake gear, etc. The rivet detail is partly raised etch detail and partly embossed etch. |

A kit for the Oerlikon set has been under development for a number of years. Unfortunately, we have been unable to get sufficient details of the underframe gear to complete the kits. However, following a number of requests, we can now supply the body etches to special order. Each set of etches contains the parts to produce bodies - with floors - for the three carriages in each set. Roofs, underframe details, bogies, etc. will have to be sourced separately. Special order only, UK post and packing free of charge.Orders should be sent to London Road Models, allowing six weeks for delivery. |

| Four wheel carriages These coaches were built by the NLR in batches between 1880 and 1891, most lasting to become LNWR and eventually LMS property, with many still working into the mid 1930's. A substantial number of all types were sold out of service to companies as diverse as the M&GN, NSR, GNoSR, GW, Cambrian, LBSCR, L&Y, NBR, MS&LR, M&C, LTSR, Isle of Wight, IoW Central, K&ESR, Etc. The First and Third Class coaches were both 28' 0" long with five compartments. The First class had partitions between compartments, while the Thirds were open plan. The Birdcage brakes were 18' 8" and provided a guards compartment and luggage facilities only. They were always marshalled at the ends of the fixed rakes. The kits include, etched sides, ends floors and underframes. Designed with compensation built in, the underframes incorporate a highly detailed representation of the clasp brake system used on these coaches. Also included is a pre-formed plastic roof; gas piping and supports; sprung buffers; and whitemetal detail parts, together with 20 pages of instructions and historical notes. In the case of the brake, an etched brass roof is also provided for the birdcage, which has a different profile. |

| LBSC/1 | L.B.S.C.R. 4 wheel Passenger Brake Van Beside the drawings available, very little is known about these vehicles and there is little photographic evidence. Some may have been built for different lines, as the body layout appears to differ in a number of cases. Some ended their days as grounded bodies, a fairly common occurrence for early railway vehicles. One, found in Fittleworth, Sussex, has now been preserved. The kit is etched in brass and includes a four wheel compensation system. A pre-formed plasticard roof is supplied and the axleboxes and gas lamp cover are whitemetal. Sprung buffers are included. The comprehensive instructions include the build dates and running number for the prototypes, four pages of assembly drawings and prototype elevations, as well as livery details. |
|
| LBSC/2 | L.B.S.C.R. 4 wheel Luggage Van Similar in design to the Passenger Brake Van, but with two identical sets of luggage compartment doors and no guards compartment, this kit represents a prototype of the same era. A total of 50 were built between 1878 and 1890. Again very little prototype information is available, but this model provides a valuable addition to the range of kits for the early LBSCR modeller. The kit is etched in brass and includes a four wheel compensation system. A pre-formed plasticard roof is supplied and the axleboxes and gas lamp cover are whitemetal. Sprung buffers are included. The comprehensive instructions include the build dates and running number for the prototypes, four pages of assembly drawings and prototype elevations, as well as livery details. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |

| LY1 | 6 wheel Lavatory Composite D5 | |
| LY2 | L&Y D8 Third/D7 Composite These two diagrams were built to a length of 33', from 1892 and were outwardly identical, both having five compartments. They had arc roofs and were gas lit. The Composites were originally 1st/2nd/3rd, or 1st/2nd only but in the early 1900s the second class compartments were downgraded to thirds. 229 were still in use in 1921, but by 1933 only 11 were left. The last two were withdrawn in 1937. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |
|
| LY3 | L&Y D10 Brake Third The D10 Brake Thirds were introduced in 1890 and while outwardly similar to the Birdcage Brakes Thirds, were one foot longer at 33'. The extra length was incorporated into the luggage compartment. 23 were dual fitted with vacuum and Westinghouse brakes for through running with the Caledonian Rly and the N.E.R. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |
|
| LY4 | Family Saloon Nine of these family saloons were built in the 1890's, in the typical L & Y style of the period. Two were altered to engineers inspection saloons in 1903, but the remainder continued in their original form into the 1930's. The family saloons were usually attached to regular timetable trains and would be changed from train to train until their final destination was reached. They were often seen in destinations far from their parent railway. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |
 |
| LY5 | L&Y Birdcage Brake Third 120 Birdcage Brake Thirds were built between 1822 and 1886. They were 32' long and were originally equipped with grease axleboxes and short buffers. The roof followed a plain arc profile and the brake end was equipped with four end windows and a centre panel which revolved to show a white or red board. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |
|
| LY6 | L&Y Saloons D13, D14 & D20 Although outwardly identical, the 6 wheel saloons to Diagrams 13, 14 and 20 were very different internally. Twelve D13 were built in 1891-1892 They were 32' 11" over the headstocks and ran on 3' 6" Maunsell wheels. Originally they appear to have been designated Third Class but were later reclassified as "Football Saloons". Forty eight D14 were built, the first eight 1891, the rest by1896. The last twenty were also equipped with Westinghouse brakes for running on Caledonian, NER and GER lines. In 1895 three First Class Picnic saloons were built to Diagram 20, the fourth a year later with an attendants tea compartment instead of the luggage compartment. This was used as a Club Car on the Blackpool service. It was refitted in 1912 and absorbed into Diagram 20. A further four were built in1899. These saloons were often found on "foreign "lines, in particular the LNWR as well as the three listed above. Most reached the LMS and were removed from service starting in 1925, although the oldest survived until 1935. The kit is etched in brass, with plasticard roof and cast whitemetal detail parts. |

| CHESHAM BRANCH SHUTTLE SET Between 1898 and 1900 54 "Ashbury" coaches were built for the MET as steam hauled stock. From 1906 to 1924 all these were converted to electric working. In 1941 six of these coaches were converted back to steam haulage, made up into two three-coach "push pull" sets, for use on the Chalfont to Chesham branch. Finally in 1960, upon withdrawal, five of the six coaches were sold into preservation. These are excellently detailed kits with the body, ends, floors, underframes and bogies etched in brass. The roof is pre-formed in plasticard with detail parts in whitemetal. The kits are intended to represent the coaches in post 1941 condition but can be adapted to represent the electric powered versions, although this is not covered in the instructions. These kits are sold only as a complete set, providing one of each prototype, to represent the push pull formations described above. As the castings for these are unique within our range, we are able to supply these kits to special order only |

| TVC1 | Bogie composite | £33.00 | Taff Vale Railway/GWR Carriages Bogie COMPOSITE, Bogie THIRD, 6 wheel BRAKE Designed by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage and Wagon Company, these carriages were built between 1896 and 1899. They were initially used in fixed formation trains on the TVR's main lines, Cardiff - Treherbert and Cardiff – Merthyr. The TVR tended to cascade stock down as newer was built so as time progressed the coaches would have been moved on to lesser duties. All the vehicles were taken into GWR stock in 1923, but the 6 wheel brakes were soon scrapped and all bar one had gone by the end of 1928. The bogie coaches were longer lasting with only one composite and four thirds being scrapped before 1940. The kits are offered as a set of parts, with etched brass sides, end and underframe with whitemetal castings for the vacuum cylinders, axleboxes, springs and roof ventilators. A set of sprung buffers is included. Fox 8ft wheelbase bogies or a compensated 6-wheel underframe for the Brake are also included. There are some diagrams, information and references, but not full instructions. The drawings and these notes are reproduced courtesy the Welsh Railways Research Circle. |

| TVCCT | TVR/GWR COVERED CARRIAGE TRUCK (PYTHON) Built in 1904 for the TVR, the last of these CCTs survived to 1952. As built, these vehicles had full-length stepboards, hinged down vac pipes, waistline handrails extending from the centre doors to the ends, together with lamp brackets at the top window height at the bodyside ends. The end doors were secured with a central rotating clasp and the buffer stocks had drop door supports fitted. In later years, all of these details were modified or removed. The kit consists of an etched brass body and chassis with whitemetal detailing parts and sprung buffers. A pre-formed brass roof is supplied. The chassis has rocking W-Iron suspension. |
