Hi guys

Long shot I know but does anyone know of a drawing for a Liver pool and Manchester Railway third class coach, I would like add something other than first class behind a Hornby live steam rocket?

Regards

Google 'Liverpool and Manchester Third Class Carriage' then go to ' images '.

There are several useful pictures of a replica vehicle at NRM, and a side drawing of a London and Birmingham Third which could give an idea of the main dimensions.

'Parliamentary Trains' have a kit for a very similar carriage in 7 mm.

Cheers.... Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for your search. I contacted the NRM and they confirmed the have a microfilm with the following description:

15735 London Midland & Scottish Railway G.A. of early 4 wheeled carriage, L & M centenary vehicles 3rd (LMS)

Copy will be ordered next week!

Regards

I think the full size replicas all use a common underframe. Don't suppose there is any chance of finding any Hornby First class underframes and throwing the bodies away would be expensive.

Hi Mike

Having compared the Hornby underframe to the photographs posted by unklian and other info I am thinking if I do build the third class carriages I will probably end up re doing the under frames under the first class too as they are a bit 'flat'...
