OO gauge model of Autocoach pulled by North Eastern Railway 1903 Electric Autocar

Post by Shane H-G »

Hi. Does anyone know of an OO gauge model of the autocoach pulled by the North Eastern Railway 1903 Electric Autocar. Have ordered the Autocar from Rails, and would like to run an autocoach with it? Thanks Shane.

It's the porthole one, isn't it? Langley do body etches. Ask MIck B on here, I think he's built one.

Its awful kit, one piece etch for sides,floor and ends, poor castings. No bogies supplied.

Due to the design you have to build the body, paint glaze and fit an interior . Then try and fit a roof without ruining the built body. I succeded but I would'nt recomend it to anybody.

There is one on ebay at the moment I believe.

Thanks Mick for your helpful post - don't think I will try to build one! Have looked on eBay and cannot find the item you mention - sorry to be a pain, but could you forward me the link if possible? Thanks Shane
