Note: there was a panelling difference between the Falcon Composite and the Hurst Nelson. The latter also sported balcony brackets,whilst the former did not.

Selsey & Carriages at Selsey Station, early 1900s

These carriages were built for the opening of the tramway company by the Falcon Engine Company of Loughborough in 1897. A short time later an almost indentical carriage was built by Hurst Nelson, making a total of 4 carriages, one brake / composite and three composites.

The carriages ran on 4-wheel bogies, were 37 feet over buffers and had balcony ends. There was a central gangway, with seating arranged transversely across the carriage.

If you are the proud owner of the "Agenoria Models" 2-4-2T Selsey (see our 7mm section under name plates) then these will be a must for your layout!

The kits are efectively a stock item. As mentioned above they are in etched brass with cast whitemetal fittings, complete with decals and name plates for the various periods in which the stock ran.

The castings and bogies are available as separate items for the scratch builder. Full details given on request.
