Gauge 1 GWR coach kits

The start of a growing range, Bowaters has announced the first of their range of 1:32 Great Western Railway coaches covering the 1947 Hawksworth designs and the Collett B Set.

To ease construction, there is no tumblehome on the Hawksworths, but its suggested it should be simple enough to sand the sides down with ease to get the correct profile, if you want them.

Hawksworth Coaches are available in MDF and plywood while the B set is only available in plywood. All are available right now.

Fareham Carriage Works range of kits. Bowaters is now the exclusive supplier of the Fareham Carriage Works Designs kits by Tony Armstrong. Tony has a range of impressive kits, many of which have featured in the G1MRA Magazine The first release will be the LB&SCR 10mm 4w/6w Coaches, 10mm East Coast Joint Stock Coaches, 1:32 Midland Clayton Coaches and 1:32 LSWR Coaches. Sadly, the pricing has increased, however, with plywood prices doubling in the last year alone, plus other costs also raising, Bowaters still feels they offer great value for money for the quality you receive. These kits are cut from premium materials, and Bowater is looking at changing all plywood kits to the same stuff, as it is apparently, a joy to work with.
