Gauge 1 Trains: L&NWR Horse Box Kit

L&NWR Horse Box Kit

This horse box kit has been designed so that it can be glued together but you may solder it if you prefer. Designed for the novice, the kit's instructions are as comprehensive as we could make them, and you can read sample pages (PDF format) via the link below. Satisfactorily building the kit should be possible even if it is the first kit you have attempted. Our new book, Larger Scale Model Railway Etched Kit Building, explains working with etched brass, soldering and gluing in much more detail but the kit can be built without it.

The Horse Box kit costs £60.00 (Gauge 0) or £85.00 (Gauge 1), and is available only from:

Due to ongoing illness, which has developed over the last couple of years, I regret that I am no longer able to produce RTR coaches or parts. I hope to continue attending the major UK exhibitions assisting my colleague, Trevor, on the Mercian Models stand.

However, I have achieved some productivity since becoming ill:

Firstly, I have written a book, to be published in early Summer 2009, a general guide to construction techniques for model railway building.

Secondly, I have managed to produce an etched brass Horsebox kit for Gauge 1 (1:32). This can be GLUED or Soldered together and is available exclusively from Mercian Models. An 'O' gauge version is also available from Mercian Models.
