alibuchan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi guys, Is there anybody that could enlighten me as to the coaches that were used for the 'Mars Celebrations' advertising train. from the small picture in Modern Loco's Illustrated i have been thinking that they are Mk1 GUV's but i am unsure. Also how many coaches were in the consist. from the same picture i can see four Malteasers, Galaxy, Bounty and Galaxy Caramel, but the picture stops 1/3rd of that way down the 4th coach. Any help you can provide would be brilliant and pictures are even better. Thanks in advance Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I never thought I would say this but... Where's Your Snickers? I'm pretty sure that would be the missing one going by what is in the pack. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what 99662 was branded as and then there is still the number and sweet for the unidentified coach to track down. Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Forgot about Milky Way. But I don't like them to be honest. They're the ones that are always left over. I'm looking at a tub now and it has Galaxy, Mars, Bounty, Galaxy Caramel, Snickers, Maltesers, Twix and Milky Way.
