Re: open passenger coach
None of the above but a couple of suggestions - how about using a chassis from one of the kit producers to add your own body & seats to, alternatively adapt a kit (e.g. Plateway's Alpine series, either https://www.platewaymodels.co.uk/shop/p ... lpine-open or maybe https://www.platewaymodels.co.uk/shop/p ... iage-b5j7x without the roof?Sam95 wrote: Thu Jun 19, 2025 8:43 am Dear all,

Re: open passenger coach
I have a GVT open coach in the 3D print files section. You could easily cut the top off. It's for 45mm gauge but it should be easy to regauge. You'd have to provide your own wheel sets ( eg Binnie)

Re: open passenger coach
What about a 'flat' with a Lego top-surface?
Lots of creative potential for all sorts of weird and wonderful creations.

That's a good idea, but my son is 2years old, so Lego are not for now. But for the future I keep the idea in mindPhil.P wrote: Fri Jun 20, 2025 11:23 am What about a 'flat' with a Lego top-surface?

Re: open passenger coach
I designed a lego wagon (borrowing sole bars from Rik) and I included a Duplo version, so that might be an option for a 2 year old?Sam95 wrote: Fri Jun 20, 2025 3:50 pmThat's a good idea, but my son is 2years old, so Lego are not for now.

Re: open passenger coach
Thinking about the lego wagons reminded me I made a pair of simple wooden open passenger coaches for my nephew and niece when they were younger. They also had Playmobile and Sylvanians. I thought I'd written it up somewhere but I couldn't find it, so I've posted about it on the blog with some photos.
