W.H.R No 6 Four Wheel Passenger / Brake Coach kit
W.H.R No 6 Four Wheel Passenger / Brake Coach kit
After very heavy investment at IP Engineering. We have now purchased Two laser cutting machine that will cut using a laser and a computer generated drawing. A very precise and simple kit can be produced where all the holes and planking have been done. The other advantage is that more complex shapes can be cut also the accuracy is very fine so very limited amount if any sanding is required. As with all of our other kits all castings, buffers, axleboxes and all steel wheel; sets are included. The full size version from 1993, construction of this coach was a private project, during which time it was numbered '4'. The intention was to rebuild a Royal Navy (RNAD) box van as a four-wheel coach, humorously nicknamed ‘Operating Managers Observation Saloon’ and ‘The Gin Palace’. Suggestions for its purpose included fitting as a brake coach, or specialisation for access by people with disabilities. Sadly, the original project lost momentum. Recently, this coach was adopted by the WHR Company to augment its small fleet. After an energetic effort this Spring (2005), the coach has now been restored to running order. The coach is popular with visitors, especially family groups and in wet weather.
