Bredin Coaches

[Kirley]

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.

 

Bredin Brake Standard Open No. 1906

 

 

Bredin Standard Open No.1360

 

 

Brake Standard Steam Generator Van No. 3210TL

Excellent detail in those coaches! Well done to JM Designs for producing the sides, and to yourself for the quality of the build!

[Horsetan]

They'd look well with the SSM Bredins.

[Noel]

They look very well. What donor coach(es) did you use?

[popeye]

Very nice models & a nice paint job. What is the arrangment of the seats, is it 3/2 or 3/3?

[jhb171achill]

Absolutely top class.

[Glenderg]

Lovely work Kirley, as always.

 

As usual John provides very detailed instructions

 

Doesn't he just! They're like training manuals

[Horsetan]

I particularly like the grab handles.

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?

[jhb171achill]

The seating inside, popeye, was 2+2, as it Cravens. Only the Park Royals had 3+2.

[flange lubricator]

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

[jhb171achill]

Yes, flange, I forgot about them, though I'm not quite sure they were originally like that.

[flange lubricator]

They were 70 seats as built as far as I'm aware .

Noel, John has adapted his coach sides to fit the Dapol 60' LMS coach kits.

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.

[Glenderg]

.... Epistles on liveries.

 

[Weshty]

Sweet job Kirley, looks VERY well. A fine blend of John's design and your application.

[Horsetan]

... many Epistles on liveries.

 

Bredin like rabbits?

[jhb171achill]

Ah! I'd forgotten about that, Kirley!

 

:-)

 

Your coaches do look fantastic in all respects...
