00 Scale GWR Loriot Y Machinery Wagon

Only two of these 1939 well-wagons were produced by the GWR, used for transporting the company’s bulldozers.  One is preserved on the Severn Valley Railway while the other saw fame as the base for ‘Dan’s coach’ on the film ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’ (wagon with coach body separately available).  

IMPORTANT: while most models available here have been pre-tested and known to work, this scratch-aid has not been printed/tested by myself, so while the measurements appear correct it is considered strictly experimental.  

The following additional parts need to be sourced separately to complete (web links given as examples only):

I hope you enjoy this unusual and eye-catching model.
