2857: LNER 61FT 6INCH KITCHEN CAR (D226/D293) 1937/1939

This range of etched sides can be used with other parts from the MJT range to create a metal model of a Gresley teak bodied coach. Alternatively they can be used as the basis of a scratch built model or to adapt a suitable donor vehicle (see for example Model Rail February 2006 - Done in a Trice). The sides are 'multi layered' allowing detail such as beading to be represented accurately. Cast door ventilator hoods, etched hinges and handles are supplied with the sides. Vehicles can be made to complement other proprietary offerings so that authentic express formations can be modelled. The instructions give details of build dates, livery, numbering, underframe details, etc. Four of these kitchen cars were built between 1937 and 1939 and only feature angle iron trussing . They did not have any passenger accommodation and would typically be marshalled adjacent to an open first and / or open third dining car. Etched sides for the open third are available in the MJT range MJT 2859.

To make a complete coach the modeller should consider:
MJT 2815 Underframe, MJT 2800A Underframe Detailing Kit, MJT 2814 Coach Ends, MJT 2871 Roof, MJT 2940 Roof Ventilators, MJT 2813 Domed Roof Ends, MJT 2820 Working Gangways, MJT 2412 or MJT 2412A Bogies and MJT 7030 Bogie Step Boards
