We are pleased to announce the manufacture of Great Western suburban coaches for branchline and mainline operations.

The Collett series of coaches being designed are based on the nominal 60'-0" length and 9'-3" wide series which were built from1930, the longer length gave more room in the third class compartments but because of the wider body the door handles were recessed.

Most of the Bristol sets remained in use up to the early '60's whereas the Birmingham sets were broken up into three coach ones after the reorganisation to the Midland division in 1955.

The models will be very highly detailed including fully detailed interiors, with interior lighting plus the option of a lit tail lamp and sound.

The Bristol Division 'B' Sets & Birmingham / Worcester Division 'D' sets

These will be offered as two coach sets made up of a pair of close coupled brake composites to Diagram E140 and normally hauled by a small prairie, although the Birmingham and Worcester sets had the larger Prairies as motive power.

The Birmingham Division 'B' sets & London Division 'A' sets

These will be offered as four coach sets made up of a pair of Brake thirds to Diagram D109 and a pair of composites E141, again hauled by either large or small Prairies or sometimes a 43xx Mogul.

For ease I have separated them out into the GWR liveries and BR liveries.

We have stocks of both the 2017 release and this years 2018 release in stock for immediate despatch.
