GRS Gauge 3 Steam Tram Coaches

[Rhinochugger]

They were unusual for British metals

You will have to excuse me but all this talk that a 1:22.6 scale W&U coach would be unusually large when applied to a 1:19.3 (16 mm) environment has put me in mind of this. Max

Oh yes please Mike Annie and Clarable bodies certainly on my hit list.

Been on a hunt Jon. Found these:
Annie and Clarabell - one has had all the glazing removed (all present) but one moulding is in three pieces with no damage to the window bits. The other coach is still all in one piece, but I have painted some of the panels as originally I thought I'd try a GW chocolate and cream livery. Both have a roof.

The etched brass coach sides have a little tarnish on them. Enough for two coaches plus two versions of coach ends - so 4 sides and 8 ends. There also also parts for the duckers, some bar thingies, roof vents, vents to go above windows/doors etc. Don't know exact scale so have put KGB driver in the photo to give an idea. Will pm prices later - got to go out.

Thanks Mike they all look pretty good to me for what I want, surprised at the Etch coach, thought it may be G1 but is certainly Ok for G3, wonder what it originally was? Perhaps a Ng Coach of some sort. Still Pm me a price with postage when you can please.

Just found this outtakes of the Thunderbolt Film, shows a few interesting bits if the Tramcars and also Lion.

I forgot I had these images of my GRS resin W&U coaches. Made when I sold them back in 2014. The one and only time I attempted a scumbled finish. Unlike some I used a salmon pink base coat rather than the more usual white that is usually suggested. One image shows them in relation to an RH Lady Anne loco. It's amazing how diminutive they actually are when scaled at 1:22.6 compared to the Lady Anne's nominal 16 mm (1:19.3). Max
