RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted October 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2015 Whilst perusing Russel's coaching stock Vol 2, I discovered the GIANTs which were basically MONSTERs with corridor connectors instead of CCT end doors. Why were they constructed when there were plenty of SIPHONs to go around. MONSTERs were used for end loaded large items like stage scenery, so by putting a corridor connector on the GIANT, you create a larger SIPHON G with smaller access doors. Why?

KGV Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 According to this site the GIANTs were a special order for a show train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted October 11, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks. That is pleasing to know that I can safely convert one of mine for the second GW incarnation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Why?Simply because the GW had a fondness for creating the oddity and converting for the sake of an idea or request/opportunity to capitalise. .and of course the opportunity to be bigger and/or better.
