BASIC COACH CONVERSION

Although originally manufactured to an "very approximate and inconsistant scale" of 1/45 > 1/48th , you can widen a standard LIMA coach body to match other 1/43rd 'O' gauge rolling stock. All principal parts of the original coach can be reused. Remodelling can allow the original finish of the coach sides to be kept.
From the basic Lima coach, virtually any BR Mk1 coach diagram can be produced , with a total 'makeover' ; have a look in 'refurbished coaches 'or
using Aquitrain Overlays, 7 or 8 coach types can be produced .
