WK 10 Carflat - dia 1/133
During the 1960’s many redundant pre-nationalisation coaches found further use converted to carflats. This kit is of those converted from GWR Hawksworth design coaches during 1966. Similar conversions of Collett underframes were made but these were of varying lengths, depending on the donor vehicle. Conversions on LMS standard 57’ underfame were also common.
Their capacity was 4 cars or 3 vans, secured with chocks spiked to the wooden deck. Due to diminished traffic (and newer, air braked conversions using Mk 1 underframes) most were withdrawn during the 1980-85 period.
