John Hayes GWR Collett Special Saloon Car Coach 9002

Special saloon car No.9002 was one of two identical 12 wheel coaches built in 1940 originally intended for railway and government VIPs and fitted out with a large saloon with settees and armchairs, a pantry and kitchen. They were immediately pressed into war service and amongst the passengers during those years were Sir Winston Churchill and General (later President) Eisenhower. Subsequently they were promoted as travelling executive suites for business firms. It was one of the first vehicles to move to the fledgling Didcot Railway Centre in 1968 when it was acquired for preservation by the late John Mynors. The etched brass model of this coach shown here has been professionally built by John Hayes to include full interior detail out of fine wood and has a mint A appearance. It really is a fabulous looking coach. With the costs of a professional build spiralling this example in brass represents excellent value. Perfect for those who operate GWR during the war years and who wish to feature Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower on their layout.

A pre war unboxed DL1/D1 LNER blue 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley with valances and pre-war couplings. The clockwork loco has been converted to electric 3 rail running and the left side transfer has been removed and replaced with a painted name. The running mechanism has been tested and whilst the motor shows signs of life it requires some work as it seems to short out and the gears do not mesh properly. There are plenty ofn images of the chassis. The 3rd rail pick up has to be improved to function properly on 3 rail track. The coal section to the tender has slight warping and there is some repainting to the tender sides although the letters are original and the tender is otherwise complete.
