Kirley Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Three coaches made from the excellent sides from JM Designs. The details on these sides are superb and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in building Irish Railway coaches. As usual John provides very detailed instructions.

aclass007 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Excellent detail in those coaches! Well done to JM Designs for producing the sides, and to yourself for the quality of the build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They'd look well with the SSM Bredins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They look very well. What donor coach(es) did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Very nice models & a nice paint job. What is the arrangment of the seats, is it 3/2 or 3/3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Absolutely top class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Lovely work Kirley, as always. As usual John provides very detailed instructions Doesn't he just! They're like training manuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I particularly like the grab handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Quick question, Kirley - I notice the late GSR-era / early CIE red upholstery inside, which was the norm in these coaches. Very impressive - did the kit come with details of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The seating inside, popeye, was 2+2, as it Cravens. Only the Park Royals had 3+2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flange lubricator Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Only the Park Royals had 3+2. I think that the first series of laminate coaches 1429-1448 were 70 seaters with 3+2 seating nicknamed maze if I remember correctly. super job on the bredins Kirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yes, flange, I forgot about them, though I'm not quite sure they were originally like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flange lubricator Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 They were 70 seats as built as far as I'm aware . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 They look very well. What donor coach(es) did you use? Noel, John has adapted his coach sides to fit the Dapol 60' LMS coach kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Quick question, Kirley - I notice the late GSR-era / early CIE red upholstery inside, which was the norm in these coaches. Very impressive - did the kit come with details of this? I did the seating the same colour as the other Bredin I've built and I think it was a certain knowledgeable Gentleman on this Site who covered the seating colouring in one of his many Epistles on liveries.
