Appropriate Coaches for the 1871 Sterling? Advice, Please.
Appropriate Coaches for the 1871 Sterling? Advice, Please.
The gentleman at Rapido was very kind to repair an idiotic mistake of mine upon this extraordinary model. I won't go into that, , but it is on her way back across the Atlantic.
I've nosed around the internet, but am largely ignorant, still, what would be appropriate coaches for this locomotive, and does Hornby make them?
Thank you in advance.
(In this photo I am guessing, and the era seems about right, but I would like to get it more a correct match).

I realise that is a fairly recent picture, but it's a start!!

Fabulous photo, judging from the fashion perhaps mid 1950's? The coaches appear to be two axle affairs, and the wooden bodies teak, perhaps?
I would venture this is the most beautiful locomotive ever created. In an age before the automobile, it shouts, "FAST."

I understand Hattons are to/have produce/d generic carriages in Great Northern Railway livery.

Very helpful, thank you, will drop an order on Hattons, in due course!
Re: Appropriate Coaches for the 1871 Sterling? Advice, Please.
Well, placed an order with Hattons, and then the sales site froze up when attempted to click on "submit." Several emails later, not a word back. Placed an order, by phone, with the Hornby people for the Centenary Lion Pack, now that order has been, too, swallowed in an abyss of silence with no order confirmation, no reply. Not quite my expectation of British business practices. For this, I can go to McDonald's.

Will try Hatton's again, third time is a charm. So I hear. I really want that Sterling to be hauling something in teak.
