Howlden artic sets

Good morning all

I am interested in the Howlden artic sets made up from six and eight wheeled stock.

There are a large number of Isinglass drawings of these sets.

I already have some duplication of constituent carriages in the drawings that I have.

Is there any list available for the make up of these sets?

There's a GNRS publication covering at least some of them... I'll have a look when |i get home tonight, unless someone better informed happens into this thread beforehand.

G'day all

Thanks JW. I did look at the GNRS webpage, but couldn't access their publication list.

Now to attempt something simple, a Diag155 composite for a D218N triplet. The first attempt was nearly there, but I hadn't realised that the first class windows were larger than the third class windows.

Afternoon from a cold and damp North Norfolk - it's been grim all week - good modelling weather!

The only GNRS publication currently available for the articulated Howlden ex-six and eight wheelers is CSF02A (£16.50 + £2.75 p&p for non-members). This only covers the articulated twins to the following diagrams: D134/162/163/164D/164E/164O (all Composite Twins); D197/198/218/218B/218C/218J/218L/218WW (all Composite Brake Third Twins); and D248F (Third Twin).

Hope the list helps.

Thanks UpD for useful information.

I have managed to access the GNRS publication list and I may well have to become a member.
