Lowered Ashbury summer Coach
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. Built for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways became Welsh Highland Railway property in 1923 and was reduced in height to fit the FR loading gauge. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR
