He was supposed to be letting me know as I have 4 Mark 2 ABC coaches waitng for frames. Had to stop the stripping down as I was starting to get more in bits than whole. My 2Cs only have toilet winows at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sidelines Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Hello 4sub - again Have a look at these Replica spares - item RA34 Has any one used these? Just before I bite the bullet and get some SE flush glazing, has anyone got photos of it fitted please? The attempts above are certainou excellent, but finding a cheap RU is not proving easy and I don't think I have it in me to cut custom ones neatly!

sub39h Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I contacted Replica about those but they only have windows for the standard Mk1 window sizes. The smaller restaurant types are not in the pack and Replica don't make them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Looks nice. I have a couple of the green RB's and was wondering, apart from S1717 what other ones got green livery. It looks like S1765 also got green judging by the new Hornby model. Edited June 20, 2021 by Baby Deltic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next question would be which had Commonwealth's and which had BR's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got all the MK1 books? If you like I can check which trains they worked on circa 1961 I think it was. I have a WTT with specified coaches named/shown.

I do have the Parkin books and some 1970's RCTS coaching stock listings which do give the numbers and bogie types, but the coaches would have been blue/grey by then.

peterfgf Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I compared my Mainline RU Buffet Restaurant Unclassified (I think) with the new Hornby RB restaurant buffet car. It stands up very well for a model that must be about 40 years old - and I paid £4.50 for it probably from Beatties. That works out at about £25 now compared to £32 for the Hornby model.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted June 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2021 All had Commonwealths initially but 1720 had Mk2 BR Bogies (BR2s?) by 1962. Just seen that on another thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterfgf Agreed. The only type that looks better (or should do) is a replacement Brass sided job from Southern Pride or Comet. However, the fine detail fittings (Grab and Door Handles) may look worse than having to tolerate the deep window frames, especially if I do it and there is, of course, the question of painting the damn thing.

The Evil Bus Driver Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Sprry to exhume this thread again. I've got one but just need to get new roof vents (the round flat ones) as mine are missing. Maybe Replica might be able to supple them or I'll have to make a resin casting of the one I have. It's a shame Mainline went down as retooling their other mk1 coaches to this standard would have definitely made for an excellent train. As it is mine is going into my Airfix mk2 rake and will receive new couplings and metal wheels along with all the other coaches. Albeit once I've replaced those vents.
