• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, Six Wheeled All Third Coach Prototype. Most of the pre grouping railway companies built six wheeled coaches to similar designs. Many continued in service on branch lines until the 1950’s and others were converted for engineers department use. This kit is based on a S&DJR prototype chosen because it is very similar in appearance to coaches owned by most of the pre grouping companies. Many modellers will be happy to paint it in their chosen railways livery. Kit. This has been designed to provide an economical coach that can be built in a reasonable period of time to a level of detail suitable for running on a layout. A

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Please read this section carefully, especially if this is your first etched brass kit. Many modellers fight shy of working in this medium, but the basic skills are relatively easy to acquire. Once you’ve learned how to form and solder brass, you’ll find all kinds of modelling possibilities will open up for you. Assembling an etched kit involves exactly the same skills that a scratchbuilder uses – the only difference is that the cutting out of the parts is already done for you. Some filing and trimming wi

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, the joint with the iron tip. Don’t load the iron tip with a lot of extra solder, but work the joint in 1” lengths, bringing in small quantities of solder. Brass is a very forgiving material and if you get something out of alignment, use heat from the iron to desolder the joint before starting again. For complicated assemblies, it is a good idea to only tack solder parts together. You can then make adjustments by desoldering until you are happy with the location of parts and then solder solid. When you need to laminate two or more layers of brass together, align the parts and carefully clamp them together, either in the vice or by holding them with miniature cr

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, The prototype all third coaches were built by the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway and then passed into Southern Railway ownership, Sample running number, 54.

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, SIX WHEELED ALL THIRD COACH ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. I prefer to add components to the sides and ends before assembling them into the body of the coach. First take the sides (parts 1) and fold the top edge through 90 degrees (a set of simple bending bars are recommended for all the long folds of the coach and this first fold is made by clamping the side and folding the top edge). Then form the curved tumblehome at the bottom of the coach side. Forming the tumblehome is an easy operation but is something of a mental hurdle for many modellers and puts them off starting a coach kit whi

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, 3. Take the coach ends (parts 5) emboss the bolt heads for the step plates and then fold the bottom to form a U section to represent the ends of the buffer beam. Fold up the steps (parts 6) and fit into the slots from the inside. Use plenty of flux so that the solder flows through the slots to fill any gaps. Fit the coupling plates (parts 7) located over the coupling hook slot in the buffer beam. I tinned the back of the plate and sweated it into place to reduce the risk of solder filling the slot. Now assemble sides and ends together. The top and bottom strips of the sides an

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, 6. I now prefer to fit the lamp brackets (parts 12) and handrails. The central fold on the brackets is a reverse fold and folds back upon itself. I reinforce the folds by holding the bracket in a pair of long nosed pliers and flood the folds with flux. I then touch the tip of the soldering iron loaded with a small spot of 60/40 solder to the side of the bracket and the flux draws the solder into the folds. I then tin the backs of the bracket with 145 degree solder, hold them in position with a knife point and sweat them into place. Refer to draw

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, Once the Evostick has set in the outer axle guards you can fit the centre ones. Drill out the bearing holes 2.7mm diameter (slightly oversize) and file the spring end plate slightly to clear the vee hanger. To achieve maximum side play file down the pin point ends of the axle until the bearing nearly touches the wheel centre. Fit wheels and axle guards with the bearings loose (no glue) so that there is a little up and down movement in the wheel sets. File to clear Vee Hanger Note maximum side play movement Wheel just clears axle gu

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, 10. Drill out the buffer bodies with a 2.1mm drill to take the cast buffer head/ shank. Hold the drill in a hand pin vice (chuck) and grip the buffer body between finger and thumb. Drill through the body from each end so that the hole breaks through in the middle. Use a little spot of spit on the end of the drill and this will help prevent the drill wandering in the white metal and breaking through the side of the buffer. Then fit shank through buffer body, snip off some of the narrow end of the shank to leave just over 1mm f

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, There are two grab handles above the end steps at the end of the roof. Drill 0.75mm holes for these and make grab handles from 0.7mm brass wire. If you don't want to glue the roof into place using Evostick after painting (this glue joint can be split with a knife blade if you ever need to get inside the coach). You may wish to fit some strips made from scrap etch to the underside of the roof so that it fits like an English snuff box lid. 12. I have passed the roof through rolling bars but

• 13. Painting is a vast subject that cannot be covered fully here. The important thing with a metal model is to get a good base coat of primer. Hopefully you have been cleaning up and washing the model at the end of each modelling session, but it will still need thoroughly cleaning before painting. I give my models a good scrub with a stiff-bristled paint br

• Connoisseur Models Six Wheeled All Third Coach, Page 16 Tapered reamer & Fibreglass Scratch Brush The use of these tools is mentioned in the instructions. These and most other general modelling tools can be obtained from Squires Model and Craft Tools, 100 London Rd, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, PO21 1DD, Tel 01243 842424. They do a free catalogue and a very good mail order service. The scratch brush is like a propelling pencil holder into which a fibreglass refill is fitted and which will give a vigorous abrasive action. I find this tool indispensable for cleaning up and removing solder. One very useful tip is to soak the refil
