I bought a set of JM's excellent brass coach side overlays a few years ago, but hadn't any Dapol 60ft Stonier Donor coaches to hand to start fitting them. Recently I decided to have a go with one of these which use Dapol 60ft Stonier donors, but Dapol have ceased production and I could not source any stock in UK online model retailers, one took an order for a pair but then emailed back apologising that they were out of stock and not expected back again. Fortunately I managed to buy an old Airfix 60ft composite which are now a Dapol product. The recommended Donors are C101A-C, C103A-C, C105A-B. Anyway once Gort is wired up I plan to give this one a try, and if I don't make a complete mess of it I'll try and source more donors and complete the tree coaches using GMs brass overlays. The Airfix coach has plastic wheels so they will have to go.

Seems a nice fit. Let the cutting, sawing, filing and sanding begin once Gort has progressed. :)

PS: I will need to make up a jig of some kind to use a rolling pin to help form the distinctive tumblehomes on the brass sides.

Nice to see you making a start on the overlays, I had almost forgotten my coach building episode.

I use a piece of skirting board clamped in a vice for forming tumblehomes as detailed in the instructions.

Pieces of skirting & stripwood 3-400mm long .

Strip of brass or plasticard same thickness as coach side acts as a stop.

Jig and coach side clamped in vice

 

I find it easiest to glue the roof to the body of the Airfix/GMR/Dapol bodyshell before cutting slots in the sides.

Tumblehome formed by pressing unsupported section of side against skirting board with the piece of aluminium angle in background  a piece of stripwood or metal rod would also be suitable.

Tumblehome formed without deformation.

I found it easier to build the coach with a removable body shell as opposed to a removable roof as its very difficult to form a decent joint between the roof and body shell if they are separate sub assemblies. I first glued the roof to the sides and allowed the joint to harden for a couple of days before cutting out the slots in the body shell with an Olfa cutter.

There is quite a bit on finishing these coaches on Page 3 of my Tales from the Carriage Shops workshop thread

Here at the slow coach wagon and carriage works I have finally finished my 3201 BSGV coach using JM Designs brass overlays this is possibly the most difficult one to do but was great fun and a great one to learn on prior to tackling the rest . Just a few touch ups and add the glazing , I added the container door locking bars which were a very distinctive detail on the 3200’s .

Would these BSGV's be apt for running with IRM's Park Royals?

I assume that a Park Royal rake will require some sort of heating van!

More than suitable to run with the forthcoming IRM Park Royals. Very well illustrated in this picture on Colm O'Callaghan's flickr page 32xx BGSV with Park Royals .

And another one by Neil Smith

All I will say in response to this thread is when you buy your donor coaches make very sure you get ones of the right length. Two of mine were fine so finished eaons ago. One was a couple of mm shorter which I only discovered after I had done all the prep work and put the adhesive on the sides with all the little clamps to hold stuff in place. AND, and and its a wonder my swearing was not heard across the Irish sea. So beware !! :dig:

Yes, to both questions.

Park Royals would have run with the FULL range of gennies - original 4-wheel tin vans, then the (few) 6-wheel ones, then the above 32XX series, BR vans & Dutch vans.

The coach sides were designed to fit the Dapol Stanier 60' Side Corridor coach. Dapol no longer appear to produce these coaches, though they may appear on the second hand market under Dapol, GMR or Airfix branding.

A BR Van is probably the best option for use with Park Royal during the IE era, when the majority of the older vans including the 32XX had been withdrawn from service.
