GWR Auto Trailer panelled version, the body is made from different thickness of styrene layered to create the moulding and gaps to take the window glazing.

Looks very impressive!

By the time you read this, you should know from my email that the cast brass buffers arrived today.

My fellow Members, ask not what your Society can do for you, ask what you can do for your Society.

The Auto Trailer is finished, the chassis is made from 1mm steel sheet as are the bogies with 3D printed detail overlays. The buffer stocks are brass castings and the buffers are nickel.
The trailers were often paired with 417 class tank engines as the picture
