Arc roof LNWR carriages announced

[Bigmet]

Useful selection of LNWR carriages, unfortunately likely to be expensive because of the more limited sales potential, but welcome for all that. None of these generic 'looks nothing like anything carrying that livery' fumblings, models based on actual sujects, much, much better.

Are these the ones showcased by Bachmann on Hornby Magazine YT channel? They looked very good and finely detailed. Like anything finely detailed, they should be handled with care!

Not really something Id buy as totally the wrong era but as I said, looked very nice (if they are the ones Im thinking of!).

Yes, and clearly at a pretty advanced stage, so hopefully not a long wait before they are available. The full brake is the stand out for me, as some of these probably hung on in service into the mid fifties, and full brakes were genuine 'go anywhere at need' vehicles that could turn up anywhere on the UK network: and these are instantly recognisable as pre-group design, and most likely not going to be around much longer.

Prices for these are out. You might want to sit down before looking though as they are a tad expensive!

these days just about everything is short of a Dapol wagon

sticking with second hand hornby railroad range stuff here, at least for now

They are, indeed, quite beautiful coaches. It's almost superfluous to comment on their cost, everything is going that way these days. However, the Full Brake is the one which caught my eye as it could run with the Ratio [now Peco/Parkside] kits for these coaches - they are much, much cheaper and nicely detailed, too.

They're really nice especially that full brake. At that price, like others, the answer is no from me. I'll wait and see if they get discounted down (then miss out as normal!).

... especially that full brake...

I have the hope that Bachmann realise this one is the 'biggy' because it can go anywhere, lots of interest expressed on line for this item; production of as many full brakes as the sum total of the passenger carriages might be a good move?

I am in for one, there has never been a full brake instantly reconisable as being of pre-group design in RTR OO, and it is most suitable to represent the sort of ancient vehicles still very occasionally to be seen on BR in the 1950's, that are about to 'disappear'.

Some full brakes had long working lives surviving long after withdrawal. Here's a few that have fluked survival but there are probably a few more lurking under tarpaulins awaiting their day in the restoration shop.
