Model Forum / General / Railroads / May 2006

   I've just acquired the bodyshell, sans doors, of the Wrenn BR Mk1
horsebox. Since the underframes of such items (eg: the Triang GWR one) are
usually as hopeless as the shells are good, this is not necessarily a loss,
and it will become a "sometime" project.

   However I don't own a copy of the Keith Parkin book on BR1 stock, and
didn't photocopy the horsebox details from the copy I borrowed, on the
grounds that I was never likely to see or own a model of something so
obscure. Like you do. Google searches have drawn a blank of one in service
so does anyone know of any online pics of one? Is one preserved anywhere?
Were the rolling components essentially Mk1 coach bits on a fixed chassis,
or something quite different?
