ALTERNATIVE SIDES FOR RATIO GWR COACHES. These replace the plastic sides. Some have to have the Ratio kit adjusted a little in length, simple with a craft knife or fine saw, then build the kit without the plastic sides and use the brass sides. This is an easy way into working with etched brass and getting good results first time. For a better effect use the etched ends which give better detail. The Siphon includes the proper ends.
Use the unwanted Ratio sides to make garden sheds.

NOTE
Some items listed as ‘H0’ are suitable for both ‘00’ & ‘H0’.

What size is a bandstand or a summerhouse?

Horse-drawn vehicles are more specific and the ‘H0’ would look small against an ‘00’ vehicle.

This could be useful in a diorama.

We leave it to your discretion to decide what looks right.
