Has anyone got any instructions for the Ultima GWR first class sleeper body kit. I can work out most of it. The other item I’m seeking is a roof to suit a 61’ 6” Gresley full brake. Thank you in advance if anyone can help out please? 😊 To what scale is the Gresley full brake? 1:148, 1:152, or (if it is the Mallard models etch you have) somewhere in between.

1965Nick Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hi Chris, it’s the Mallard models etch, which I thought was 2mm scale. thank you 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanFogg Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Nick, Assuming it's the GWR Hawksworth coaches UM/E 1207-1213 you are looking for, this what it comes with: Ultima Hawksworth Coaches.pdf Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of scale / dimensions but I can measure them later to see if they'd be suitable for what you need. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a quote from him in an email he sent me a long while back: > It’s a Mallard Models kit, maybe shot down from 4mm but I think it’s been done to something like 1:148 because the Ultima roof that has resided in my gloat box since about the late 80s is about 2mm too short. But actually the Ultima roof being 2mm short makes the etch about 1:150 rather than 1:148. Best to ask him.
