Coaching Stock etches.

[Mayner]

I am planning to supply Coaching Stock etches to order direct from our photo engravers in the UK beginning with our CIE 4w Van and MGWR Horse Box and Meat Fish Van etches and expect to have an updated price list during the next two weeks.

I am considering producing sets of etched parts for 1951-53 Inchacore built coaches previously supplied as overlays for converting Dapol/Airfix 60' Stanier coaches to CIE stock. The proposed sets of parts similar in principal to Worsley Works/Comet coaches, supplied with an etched roof to be formed to profile by the builder.

At this stage I am looking at producing Buffet Car, Brake Second and will produce further sets of parts if there is sufficient interest based on enquiries for a minimum of 10 of each type of coach.

Put me down for one of each type of coach, one of each horsebox, fish/meat and two tin vans John.

Great news! 
The CIE vans - which variants are you offering? 
My preference would be one luggage van and one heating van.

Same here. One of each if they're being made available.

4W Vans include Heating and Luggage Van or "Tin Van", Luggage Van or "Hooded Van" and PO Van/"Heuston Tool Van"

Our prices for UK customers are inclusive of VAT as the etches are supplied direct from our engravers in Scotland, prices for customers outside the UK exclude VAT

Shipping is usually Royal Mail Registered Post, I can confirm total cost including shipping upon receiving an expression of interest, lead time from placement of order to shipping usually 4-6 weeks.

The Van Roofs are supplied as a separate etch and I am considering the option of producing a 3D printed roof as forming an elliptical roof may be challenging for some modellers. I am also considering making detail parts such as buffers, oil tanks and axleguards available as 3D printed parts.

Prices: UK customers Van etches £35.00  Roof etch £16.80 Non-UK customers Van etches €38.00 Roof etches €17.00

Heating & Luggage

Luggage Van

PO Van

The etched van parts include two sets of sides to cover a number of in-service modifications. Panels with windows were replaced with plain panels on some heating and luggage vans. Some PO Vans were converted to Tool Vans after the vans were withdrawn from mail service.

 

MGWR Horse Box and Meat/Fish Van

These items of Non-Passenger Coaching Stock remained in service on CIE until withdrawn in the late 1950s, there is even a photo of a Meat Van and a 1880s MGWR 6 w TPO coupled between a Tin and a Hooded Van on the Sligo Night Mail

Some of the detail castings incl. buffers axlebox/springs and syphon roof vents may be available from the Dart Castings MJT range, I may make the handbrake wheels and Meat Van end posts/louvres available as 3D printed items. (The MGW van frets include a roof!)

Prices: UK customers MGW non-passenger stock etches £25.00  Non-UK customers Van etches €29.00

Excellent- thanks John. 
I’d like etches for a luggage van and a heating van, plus a roof for each. 

I would also be interested in the 3D printed detail parts for these if you do produce them.
