I see that the limited edition GCR 3 plank kit is currently shown as sold out. Is it likely to be reintroduced any time soon?

We haven't scheduled it for 2025. We can add a short run if there is sufficient demand, 4 kits being a single run on the build plate.

I would certainly be interested in the GCR 3 plank should it become available again.

Can I ask, would it be possible to purchase just wagon bodies with buffers and axle boxes across the range from you? Your wagon bodies look excellent and I am interested in a number in your range however, I am a S7 modeller who prefers etched fully sprung axle guards and sprung buffers on my wagons.

Cheers

My apologies, my previous message was not quite clear. I should have asked, will parts be available separately from the pre-grouping railway company kits - noting that they are already available from the private trader kit.

The answer is a little complex. Some of our kits (the full kits) are designed to have interchangeable parts and these are also designed to take S7 axleguards and allow the brakes etc to align.
Our easy build kits are - for the most part - from a pre-existing set of designs and are less adaptable. It is the case that these are either available in this format or not at all.

Send me a DM and we will see what can be done to help

I would like to buy two GCR 3 plank kits when they become available.

I am alsoa S7 modeller and would be more intersted if it was the full kit rather than th easy build.

Just to keep Western Thunder up to date. Our subscribers yesterday received our March Update, showing our latest releases.









The Fish Van has had the details updated, we've just not had time to get one decorated and photographed.

The Diag 1 and 81 opens are full kits, with optional parts for brakes and axleboxes. There are two versions of the Diag 1.
The Fish and the Tintab are easy build kits and come with the details already on the solebars.

Further details on the website

Thanks

Hi what time frame would the opens have been running?

These all look great, and very tempting! Just need to justify a L&Y wagon reaching the Dorset coast, pre common user arrangements...

Is it me, or are the push rods on the brakes of the 1-plank wagon the wrong way round? The lever would pull the brakes off, not apply them. As assembly error, possibly?

Yes Nick. These were mocked up incorrectly . The body detail on the Fish has been also revised. We were caught between the LYRS magazine schedule and being unable to print because of the cold. Just shows you shouldn’t rush!

The diag 1’s were built from the end of the 19th century through early 1900’s. The 81’s from 1909 to 1917.

Thanks - good to know it isn’t anything inherent in the kit.

Many L&Y wagons had left handed brake levers, so either mount the brakes the other way around or move the lever to the other end.
