During the 1930s the Southern Railway substantially upgraded the island's rolling stock, eliminating all of the remaining four-wheelers and replacing some older bogie coaches.  The 1936 batch of new arrivals included these ten ex-LBSCR 6 compartment brake thirds.

​

Some of these coaches had bodyside panelling replaced by steel sheeting to various degrees but the Eastleigh model is fully panelled apart from where side lookouts were removed in 1927.

​

What's in the box -

This Eastleigh Model Rail kit gives you all the 4mm scale 3D printed parts you need to build a complete coach - sides, ends, roofs, interiors, underframes and bogies.

​

What else you'll need -​

• Couplings - 1 pair of Symoba close couplers

• Wheels and bearings - the bogies are dimensioned to accommodate '00', 'EM' or 'P4' gauge 14mm disc wheelsets with standard 26mm 'pinpoint' axles and the sideframes have holes to fit brass 'top hat' wheel-bearings

• 8BA/M2 nuts and bolts.

• Glazing

• Paints and transfers
