Mainline Standard Mk1s

[peak experience]

Just a quick one. Am I correct in thinking that there are only 3 coaches in this range, a Brake Composite, a Second Corridor and a Buffet?

I think they did a BSK rather than a BCK. A Diagram D181 I believe.

I can't recall anymore, but I believe they were going to introduce more types.

They were good for their time - the only real issue was the hole in the slide for the chassis locating pip they cured that on the RB

With flush glazing and decent couplings and wheels that can still hold its head up against todays offerings

Replica took on the RB and added FO and BCK

Thanks chaps. That what I thought. For the record, I like them.

Just change the plastic wheels for metal ones for cleaner track...
