With my latest additions to the available 3D printed range, there are now 10 GWR passenger carriages to choose from (as well as 9 GWR non-passenger coaching stock).

The passenger stock consists of 3 clerestory, 5 Toplight, and 2 Concertina diagrams. 
Clerestory : C17 D29 E73
Toplight : C29 C30 E83 E88 F14
Concertina : C27  D34 

Examples of all these types survived WW2 and most lasted into the mid-1950's. Some were converted to Camping Coaches and lasted much longer, stationed in the yards of popular holiday destinations.

If you have (or are hoping to have) a "Saint", "Star","Castle" or "King", then a mixed rake of the above would make a stunning express formation. If the demand exists for these types, I may then add a "Concertina" H13 dining car.

The aim is to, eventually, have all of these offered as kits by New Land 3D (Anthony Terranova), as well as my other LMS/LNWR/MR/LNER/GCR and SR designs.
Preparation of these as complete kits takes a not inconsiderable amount of effort and time and the potentially most popular examples are being prioritised. Expressing interest/ pre-ordering kits from New Land 3D will see your choices move up the list.
My fellow Members, ask not what your Society can do for you, ask what you can do for your Society.
