Hornby have announced new tooling for 57' bow-ended suburban coaches in left-hand and right-hand configurations of both composite and brake coaches, suitable for running as 4-coach sets for branch and suburban services - an ideal accompaniment to the newly tooled large Prairie.

It wil be better if I explain why they were built - as four coach set trains for the London, Chester and [principally] Birmingham divisions.  In Birmingham sets such as these were known as B sets, in contrast to the use of that term for pairs of brake composites elsewhere on the [G]WR.  In Birmingham such pairs were called D sets.  What was that about GWR standardisation?

Would they have been used for locals around Oxford and northward toward Banbury, Leamington etc?. Based on the coaching info I have only a couple of services between Oxford and Banbury were of non-corridor stock but nonetheless a hole in my collection to fill, either instead or or supplemented by Comet sides and bits for other Collett ones or my 3d printign bodging for Toplights and maybe earlier non-corridor stuff.

 

Thanks

Now I get the idea of right and left hand coaches when a corridor is used. Can somebody explain the difference when no corridor is found ?

 Roof ventilators all on one side when set is made up correctly.

On the whole Hornby/Dapol thing, are these the same diagram as Lionheart make in 7mm? Have they missed a trick by not shrinking to 4mm?

 

Yes and yes.  Sorry, that was wrong. Should have checked a bit closer on the diagram types.

I wonder whether or not any found their way onto Valleys workings .I know that bow ended stock did but trains ran in 5/6 coach sets,some with Hawksworth and other Collett stock.

 

One or two 5 car sets for my proposed valleys workings, plus a nice Taff vale A class (or 4) lurking in the background....

 

Getting all wibbly-wobbly now....
