DanielP Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I am attempting to identify the coach in this terrible video still frame. I am thinking some kind of mk1 parcels but I can't find an exact match online. I think it was shot in the late 1980s (1988?) in the midlands, probably the WCML. The loco is 8500? Many thanks for any assistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Just a normal Mk.1 BG on B4 bogies. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted September 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks like it's an NEA. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielP Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks for the quick replies, very helpful. Am I right in thinking there are no OO models of this NEA with B4 bogies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'm not sure if a mk1 BG is available in this livery with B4 bogies, but both Hornby and Bachmann provide the coach RTR in this livery. Swapping out bogies is not difficult, so long as you use the same fitting on the replacement bogie as the original; there are 3, Hornby 'full fat', Hornby Railroad, and Bachmann. Once you've got the right B4 bogie, it is simply a matter of pulling the old bogie off and plugging the new one in. Then you may wish to remove vacuum brake equipment from the underframe and replace with air brake, and provide ETH connections. Lettering on the end of the coach should indicate that it is suitable for 100mph running. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Bachmann definitely do them with B4 bogies. Not that livery, but I'm pretty sure they've done them in B/G. https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/63169/39-180A-Bachmann-BR-Mk1-BG-Brake-Gangwayed-BR-InterCity Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
