SAR C-33 All-Coupe First Class Passenger Carriage

Between 1949 and 1950, South African Railways placed the C-33 All-Coupe First Class carriages into service. These along with C-34 First Class, E-16 Second Class and H-24 Third Class were the first steel bodied main line carriages to see service with SAR. They featured 11 coupes and could seat 33 people and sleep 22. All of the carriages were built in the UK by various manufacturers who had supplied the SAR in the past. They had a single toilet cubicle, and unlike the C-34, did not have a shower.

Supplied unpainted, but with a detailed interior with separately applied compartment doors, bunks and seat backrests so the modeller can customise the model as they wish. The 16.5mm gauge versions are supplied with a cut down version of the bogies to allow them to swing without fouling the steps. Bogies, wheels, brake wheels, couplers and screws are included. The model also features accurate underframe equipment and accurate roof vent spacing and arrangement.
