francoes Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi Not sure if this is the right place but here goes. I have acquired a couple of these coaches but have no idea as to the type that they are based on. Sure this may have been asked or covered on the forum before but cannot find anything especially regarding the second photo. Could anybody enlighten me or point me in the direction of further info. Greatly appreciated Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwales Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi Rob They are both Hornby(Triang?) operating mail coaches, the bottom photo was I believe an adaption of an American baggage car so is pure fiction, however, the top photo, although numbered as a BR vehicle was I seen to recall based on an LMS prototype although the length wasn't correct. Hope that is of some help. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoes Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for the reply Ian Yes that helps That eliminates the american one. I will have a look at the LMS. You mention wrong length,has anyone done a conversion or adapted one of these coaches? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
