Generic pre-grouping 4 and 6 wheeled RTR coaching stock
A bold project which sounds exciting on the first read through:https://www.hattons.co.uk/genesis?utm_campaign=Project%20Genesis%20-%20GWR%20focus&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MDuqxr&_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJsb25nY2hhcEBob3RtYWlsLmNvLnVrIiwgImtsX2NvbXBhbnlfaWQiOiAiSkdRZVhoIn0%3D
Probably not for the purist , but an easy route in for early passenger stock, particularly for those not wanting to build, bash, paint and line kits and they appear to tick many boxes regards specifications.
I'll not stop building and bashing though, to represent prototype examples and will still collect Triang panelled stock at the right price!
I'm sure they will be popular, although quite a wait until the first batch.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

Bit generic, but as Bill said, unless you are a purist they do the job. What strikes me is that there is a potential source of RTR 4 and 6 wheel chassis for those early siphons (which is what the GWR used). At not much more than a kit to build the chassis, along with the bonus of a grounded body for an office or storeroom (or even a shed in the fields). Cheap enough for some cut and shut as well.
The only thing missing is a family or senior staff saloon. Easy enough to do. And of course an all chocolate or crimson lake paint scheme instead of gravy and mashed potatoes.
