If you are one of those who has been asking after the arrival of the GWR diagram "U" autotrailer, then it is time to join the "Q" and place your order with Ant Terranova at New Land 3D. I shall be passing over the STL files very soon, for the preparation of the kits.

Attached are photos of the test-build parts painted and awaiting gold/black lining and subsequent assembly (difficult to photograph in artificial light  but will provide an overview of the design).

While on the topic of queueing....the dia. "Q" trailer will be joining the "U" very shortly. Both are gangwayed types so is an ideal partner for "U".
Unlike the "U", diagram"Q" has no luggage compartment or central vestibule, having a single, undivided, passenger saloon with a vestibule at each end.

These are 70ft coaches, so will make an impressive pair.

Update on new projects.

I have been asked to produce S.R. Maunsell corridor stock and Metropolitan "Dreadnought" stock and these are in hand.

Keep watching for updates.

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