Please note that 106 – Current and 107 are individual kits, which must be specified at time of ordering.
These kit represents the current FR Carriages 106 and 107 from the ‘Barn’ or ‘Centenary Stock Series’ which were originally based on the outline profiles of the Lynton & Barnstaple Passenger Carriages. Carriage 106 is still running on its original 1960s Chassis, but with a new body dating to 2002, whilst Carriage 107 was a complete new-build to the same design in 2004/2005. There are just a few small detail differences between them.
As noted above kits are available for both 106 and 107 individually covering the very small differences; namely the arrangement of Electrical Connector Terminals and beading on the ends. As such only one engineering prototype has been built, representing Carriage 106.
These kits include hidden slot and tab construction, for easy and accurate assembly. They are available in either MDF or Plywood which should be specified at time or Ordering. It should be noted that even our MDF kits include Plywood where a ‘wood-grain finish’ is required such as panelled interiors and wooden furniture as well as for the main section of the roof.
Full interior panel detail and correct, ‘box-construction’ style furniture is included, with MDF profiles representing the seat cushions.
As per usual with Resurgam Rolling Stock individually glazed panels with droplight frames and or window beading are incorporated in full relief.
Another new feature for our range of ‘Barn’ carriages are 3D printed Electrical Connector Terminals and Vacuum Pipes as well as correct pattern 3D printed ‘Bogie Side’ overlays, for the bogie frames as well as the usual 3D printed door handles, grab-rails, SLR Models 3D Printed Door Buffers and turned steel wheels on shouldered axles running in bronze bearings.
In order to keep the beading as thin as possible, 0.6mm Polybak is used for this application as standard on this kit, whether supplied in MDF or Plywood.
As of April 2025 this kit is available for 32mm using the prototypical pattern ‘saloon’ bogies, or 45mm gauge using the newly updated ‘SARCAST Bogie’ with either allowing operation down to a 3ft radius, but cutting a substantial chord in the process. Insulated wheels are also available if required. Please specify when ordering.
For reference these vehicles are very similar in size to Lynton & Barnstaple Passenger Carriages; the outline profile of the 1:1 ‘Barns’ are of course based on these vehicles. So although comparatively large, similar sized vehicles have been a feature of 16mm scale modelling for many years.
The kit is available with either cut-outs to accept Accucraft Chopper Couplings, or plain headstocks to fit couplings of your choice. Please specify when ordering.
Couplings and decals are not supplied with the kit, but the correct decals for the respective liveries are available from Endon Valley Custom Decals.
