We are delighted to present this special value pack of four N Scale BR Mk1 POT Post Office Tender (Stowage) coaches in original Post Office Red livery.
Each pack includes 2 each of W80423 item No. 374-960K and W80417 item No. 374-961K allowing a stunning steam-era postal train to be assembled in an instant – especially when used with the matching POS coaches previously produced as part of the Graham Farish main range. Although the specific diagram of POT depicted by the Graham Farish model did not carry this livery in service, following the success of our OO Scale versions, we have been inundated with requests to replicate these in N and we are delighted to do so.
Using the Graham Farish model as its basis, these coaches carry all the hallmarks of the iconic BR Mk1 design, the distinctive profile of the Mk1 coach is captured to a tee from the bodysides to the roof, which incorporates finely moulded ventilators. On the bodysides the handles and grab handles surrounding each door are moulded precisely, whilst the minute grilles adjacent to each of the small bodyside windows are engraved to great effect. At either end, the corridor gangway is complete with lamp irons on either side and within, the corridor door is modelled with its small window which is flush glazed – in the same way all of the windows on the model are. A metal grab handle is added to each end individually, and ETH connections are present on the coach end and bufferbeam. Footboards are included on the solebars below each door whilst the underframe sports a full complement of equipment, with the truss rod frames modelled in all their glory and flanked by battery boxes, vacuum cylinders and other auxiliary equipment.
The bogies are fitted with metal wheelsets, whilst the standard N scale coupling is attached via a NEM coupling pocket to the close coupling mechanism that is fitted to the carriage floor, which operates in tandem with the bogie. The icing on the cake though is the livery application, using authentic colours, logos and fonts to give every model an exquisite appearance.
