The LNWR’s deep frame bogies are modelled with separately fitted brake and suspension components and are fitted with metal wheelsets, depicting either LNWR pattern wheels complete with their wooden centres or later all-metal wheels. The wheelsets run in metal bearings, incorporating electrical connections to aid those who may wish to fit additional features to their models.
Between the bogies, the underframe detailing includes finely detailed truss rods along with brake components which can be configured to depict coaches fitted with either Westinghouse or vacuum brakes. Large gas cylinders are fitted to gas-lit vehicles, and these are substituted for battery boxes on coaches that were upgraded to electric lighting. Standard OO scale tension lock couplings are fitted at either end, attached via NEM coupling pockets to the chassis-mounted close coupling mechanisms. The detailing continues inside the model, with seating and compartment partitions replicated, including compartment doors with hinge and handle detailing – even the toilet and hand basin are reproduced in the toilet compartments.
This high level of detail provides the perfect canvas for the livery application which truly has to be seen to be believed. Employing authentic colours, fonts and typefaces, the decoration of each model has been painstakingly researched and extends to things like window stickers and the ornate etchings on the toilet windows of the LNWR-liveried models, with specialist printing techniques employed to replicate lining, lettering numbers and logos in miniature, yet still in full clarity.
