NWNGR Unglazed Summer Coach Kit
After very heavy investment at IP Engineering. We have now purchased a laser cutting machine that will cut using a laser and a computer generated drawing. A very precise and simple kit can be produced where all the holes and planking have been done. The other advantage is that more complex shapes can be cut also the accuracy is very fine so very limited amount if any sanding is required. As with all of our other kits all castings, buffers, axleboxes and all steel wheel; sets are included.
