Phoenix coach kits are used as a basis for producing exhibition standard models at Pendon Museum.
Each coach body kit contains:
Cast ends, punched sides, floor pan, sole bars and roof in aluminium, vents, buffers, vee hangers, vacuum cylinder, dynamo, non-specific battery boxes, partitioning, glazing, instructions, scale plans, historical data plus other detailing parts as applicable.
With some 350 types in our catalogue, the punched sides for a particular kit may not be available in stock. Production is labour intensive and replenishment of stock is best carried out on a batch production basis, so therefore please allow at least eight to twelve weeks for your kit to be delivered. In the event that we cannot meet this timescale, we will endeavour to advise you.
Please note the following codes in the lists below:
1) A R/H van is a coach with the van at the right hand end when viewed from the corridor side. A L/H van is, naturally, the converse.
2) A composite coach is R/H where the the first class end is on the right when viewed from the corridor side. Again, a L/H composite is where the first class end is at the left when viewed from the corridor.
3) The given body lengths are over corner pillars. Bow ends usually add 1'- 2" or 1'- 4" to give an overall body length (excluding gangway connectors where present). Measurements are given to the nearest inch.
4) A right hand third with one bow end and one flat end has the bow end on the right when viewed from the corridor side. A left hand third is the opposite.GREAT WESTERN / BR CORRIDOR COACHES
Collett 70' stock, 1922-25
Carriages from the early lots of these coaches were for Paddington-South Wales expresses. Later they were widely distributed and the 'Cornish Riviera' was formed of 70' stock from 1924-1929. There were a number of variations to be found in the ends of these coaches: bow, flat or one of each. In the following list: B=Bow ends; F=Flat ends; B/F=One Bow and One Flat end.

In 1929 these coaches were put on principal expresses to the West Country, most famously on the "Cornish Riviera", but also others including the "Torbay Limited". For the initial run of the down "Cornish Riviera Express" on the 8th July 1929, the train was formed as follows:
Penzance: D106/C59/C59/H37/H35/H36/E137/D106 StIves: E138 Falmouth: E138 Plymouth: E138 Weymouth (slipped): F23/E138The following kits would be required to make up the whole train:

In 1935 the GWR was 100 years old and to mark this occasion a series of brand new coaching stock was built for the best expresses to the West. Following very closely on the design of the "Super Saloons" these coaches were put into service on the "Cornish Riviera Limited", as the "Cornish Riviera Express" had become a service for booked-seat passengers only and had been renamed from the 8th July 1935, the beginning of the summer timetable that year. The Centenary Van Third coaches were the last on the GWR to be built with handed bodies for a set train. An important note for modellers is that due to problems with the large drop-type opening windows, in the 1936-38 period certain corridor side windows and all compartment windows were altered by fitting with sliding type ventilators. The standard formation of the down train was:
D120(L/H)/C69/C69/H44/H43/E149/D120(R/H)/C69/E150/E150The following kits would be required to make up the whole train:
