26/04/10 Coach Kit Improvements

We are now stocking  state of the art CNC machined coach buffers manufactured by Markits. At present we are only listing those types that are relevant to our coach kits (please see the accessories page). Other types can be supplied to order. The buffers have a machined brass base with an internally sprung, non-rotating machined steel shank/head to the correct profile. They are supplied ready assembled.

Our S.R. Bulleid and L.N.E.R. Thompson corridor coach kits can now be supplied in an upgraded form with these new buffers included with the kit. 

27/04/10 Website Improvements

We are currently uploading Word file copies of the instruction sheets for our various kits. We also hope to include pdf files of the various instruction drawings. These can be accessed through the 'Instruction Sheets' page of this website. We are also simplifing the ordering selection of our range of coach kits, and where possible, including a pdf file with a drawing & prototype information with each kit description.
