For some reason (RMweb's search facility?) I had not found this during previous searches, so many thanks for sending me there.

It's... complex. Adam Actually, in the early 1960s there are a number of pictures online of 3-coach trains on the Steyning line (Brighton-Horsham) formed of Maunsell+Bulleid, or 64'6"+59' Bulleids although in at least some pictures the set number has been painted out. No idea if that was also true for other Central division areas, I'm only really interested in things that could have been seen on the West Coastway. ĸen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted September 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2020 Thank you very much to all those who took the trouble to respond to my request. I now have all the information that I need to assemble my trains, and will be proceeding with that task forthwith. I'm hoping that Bachmann will not be too long in producing their Bulleid coaches so that I can use some of those to represent the early 1950s trains that ran from Waterloo to the South Western (not the Central) area. If I buck my ideas up and get on with layout construction, I might have time to make up some kits for suburban traffic before the workshop has to close for age reasons.
