O GAUGE – PLEASE READ;
THIS IS ONE OF A NUMBER OF COACHES I AM SELLING WHICH REQUIRE COMPLETION/REBUILD/REPAIR. I BELIEVE THEY WERE ONCE COMPLETE BUT TIME HAS DETERIORATED THE ADHESIVE FIXINGS. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS. MOST HAVE JUST ABOUT THE COMPLETE PARTS BUT I WILL SAY SO IF THERE IS ANY THING OBVIOUSLY MISSING. MOST ARE PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION WITH WOOD BASE(UNLESS I SAY TO THE CONTRARY!). THERE ARE NO MANUFACTURERS DETAILS ON THE COACHES BUT THEY CAME IN A VARIETY OF BOXES, SOME PLAIN, SOME WITH ‘WESTDALE’ SOME WITH ‘D.J.B ENGINEERING’ AND ONE MARKED ‘PARKSIDE DUNDAS’. THE BOXES MAY HAVE BEEN CONVENIENCE RATHER THAN A CLUE TO MANUFACTURE.
THIS IS A (POSSIBLY!) AN S.E.C.R BIRDCAGE COMBO (SMOKING AND NON SMOKING) FROM d.j.b ENGINEERING. PAINTED IN SOUTHERN RAILWAY LIVERY. RUNNING NUMBER 5726. PLASTIC COACH SIDES AND ROOF (WHICH I THINK ARE PRE-FORMED SO DO NOT SEPARATE). AND WOOD BASE WITH ETCHED BRASS SOLE BAR. GOOD TRANSFERS AND FITTED HANDLES TO THE DOOR FRAMES. A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFFS ON ONE CORNER OF THE COACH BODY OTHERWISE REASONABLE WELL PAINTED. THERE IS INTERNAL CORRIDOR WITH SEATING SPACES BUT THE SEATS HAVE BECOME DETACHED. HOWEVER THE ALL SEATS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RE-FIXING. SOME PASSENGERS ARE STILL SEATED. THE COACH BODY IS NOT FIXED TO THE WOOD BASE. THE BASE IS REMOVABLE. THE WHEEL/AXLE BOGIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONNECTED TO ETCHED BRASS BRACES. THE AXLE BOXES HAVE BECOME UNSTUCK BUT ARE ALL PRESENT. THE WHEELS ARE OF PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION WITH PAINTED EXTERNAL RIMS. THE WHEELS ARE ALUMINIUM WITH PAINTED INTERNAL RIMS AND PAINT SPLASHES HERE AND THERE. THERE ARE NO FIXINGS ON THE AXLE ENDS TO FIT THE AXLE BOX. THE UNDERCARRIAGE STEP FRAMES AND OTHER PARTS ARE IN PLACE. STEPS SHOULD BE FIXED TO THE SOLE BAR BASE ARE MISSING EXCEPT ONE WHICH IS DETACHED. THE AXLE BOGIES HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE ETCHED BRASS BRACES EACH OF WHICH HAS A CONNECTING HOOK STILL IN PLACE. THE BUFFERS ARE RIGID. THERE ARE CONCERTINA CARRIAGE CONNECTORS ON EACH END.
ALL AVAILABLE PARTS ARE SHOWN IN THE SCANS.
PLEASE E MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR FOR MORE SCANS OR INFORMATION. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU BID
