I've recently completed a 3mm scale model of an AC Cars railbus. These were built by the car manufacturer at their factory at Thames Ditton. All bar one of the small batch were sent to the Western Region (the remaining one was sent to the Scottish Region). These small 4-wheel railbuses looked very much at home on the Tetbury and Cirencester branches which radiated from Kemble on the Gloucester - Swindon line. I have wanted one for a long time and when Lenny Seeney brought out a 3D printed one in 3mm scale I just had to get one! On receipt I was blown away by the quality of the bodyshell and couldn't wait to get started. A motor bogie was ordered from Halling in Austria, who's products are intended for trams but I've used several on previous projects and it was a natural choice given their smooth running qualities.
