To go with the Adams Radial, what is needed is a set of coaches which ran on the Lyme Regis branch in the 40's. In the 30's, the Southern rebuilt a some LSWR 48' stock onto standard SR 58' frames. Some ended up as Brake Thirds, others as Brake Composites. These had 10' guards compartments grafted onto the ends and were sheet steel plated, in contrast to the panel wood of the donor coach. Some two coach sets were made up for local use. Set 42 ended up at Lyme Regis.
Well, about the time I finished the Radial, Branchlines bought out a set of 7mm scale etches for the SR 58' rebuilds There were no castings with these etchings, so these had to be sourced as well as some scratch building of detail parts and internal partitions. The roofs are balsa, covered in cartridge paper.

Set 42 at Kelly Bray. This photo was taken 10 years ago whilst work on the buildings etc. was still in progress. The building seen is just a card space model.
