HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT. Ffestiniog Railway Carriages 21 and 22 – Double Pack. This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old. This model kit is of carriages 21 and 22, as running on the Ffestiniog Railway prior to preservation. Both carriages were build by the Ashbury Carriage and Iron Company to improve accommodation for quarry workers and also double up as tourist stock. In this original form they included safety rails across the door drop-windows (to prevent passengers sticking heads out of the window in the tight lineside clearances). The frame also includes more bolt detail than the modern day replica of carriage 21. The original carriage 21 did not survive into preservation, whilst carriage 22 has been rebuilt numerous times. It is still operating on the Ffestiniog Railway, but in a completely new form with larger’Barn’ style profile. The kit includes three main components – the body side assembly, internal detail and frame, and roof. There are option Oil Lamp Lids/Vents to fit if modelling the carriages pre-1930. Both carriages also requires the hooped door handles to bit fitted separately. Finally, there is also a raft of detailing brake connections specific to these vehicle1. PECO GR-104 bogies and clear perspex are included with the model. You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board, files and micro-drills) adhesive and paints to assemble the kit. This is a highly detailed scale kit built using our in house machines, with High Definition resin and build layers just 50 microns (0.05mm) thick. Whilst there is’stepping’ visible on the parts up close, this is not discernible once the kit is painted and/or from usual viewing distances. The parts have their main supports removed, though detailing and structural supports will remain to protect the parts in transit, and require removing prior to assembly. Some polishing and filing of the parts is required to ensure they fit together without a seam. The carriage includes representation of the interior, with the carriages having hard benches and a single partition. As far as can be ascertained from images, both vehicles were identical. The pack contains two coaches, and the required bogies. Fourdees Limited is not liable for any breakages of parts during assembly of the kit. If parts arrive damaged, please provide photographic evidence and we shall replace the damaged component. 137mm (over coupling hoops). Height: 34mm (over optional lamp lids). Prototype Manufacture: Ashbury Carriage and Iron Company Ltd (Carriage 21 Replica built at Boston Lodge). Prototype Railway: Ffestiniog Railway. The model comes packaged in a collector’s box with detailed instructions.
