BernardTPM Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Don't forget that the recessed saloon end doors open inwards in true Pullman style so don't have visible hinges. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Apologies for hijacking this thread a little, but looking on Flickr I've noticed that some of the Brake coaches had blue ends whereas others had grey ends. Was this a later modification or was it only applied to a few of them?? Edited January 12, 2020 by montyburns56 4 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must get round to it this year along with the 4th coach of the NNK Class 508 kit. Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Monty, Could it be that the alternate styles of blue and grey ends are something to do with when the sets were repainted at overhaul and that one is an early style and the other is a later style ?

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted January 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I must admit I don't recall seeing a blue end in the 80s as it passed, and I did see the train on a number of occasions. Perhaps it was just one particular PB (of the 5 in stock) that was painted that way? Here's another view, the number is almost readable at the largest size.. https://flic.kr/p/H9RFpD Edited January 12, 2020 by stovepipe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Re the pantograph, the original Trix panto was a good representation of the Stone-Faively one. Sommerfeldt do a good one as well. We used some of them on the New Annington electric locos back in the 1980s. Do any of the Manchester Pullman coaches survive? I'm still trying to find time to complete my Kitmaster Pullman set anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dov Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hi Darius did you ever finish your superb rake of Mk2 Pullmans? I would love to see some photos of them. I have a part finished set of four coaches from the same Judith Edge kits and I am looking for someone who can finish them, they need detailing and painting if you know of anyone? I am based near Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted January 4 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4 Alas they remain unfinished - I did come across the box they are in recently. Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That's a shame as they look superb and as good as done in my opinion. If you are interested in selling or building some more (lol) please let me know. Best regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
