[Jerryatric]

I'm very new to this and have the Hornby  Green BR MK1 SECOND CLASS BRAKE COACH WITH LIGHTS GREEN. CAT.R4609A. Could anyone point me in the direction or cat number of the other coaches that would go with this one; with lights.

Thanks so much if you can

It is a Mk1 BSK in BR Southern green.  First of these knocked out after 1951 and lasted in service in green into the mid 1960s.  You have quite a wide window really but to make it easy, the Southern tended to form a number of their Mk1s into 3 coach sets with a BSK each end of a CK (corridor composite).  Depending on what you intend to use it for, you could do far worse than procure another BSK and a CK and run them behind any BR(S) loco.

Although the thread I am linking here is about  Mk1 BCK  (C = composite 1st and 2nd class) whilst your BSK is a "bog standard" brake second, there is still useful info for you.

Look for Hornby Green Mk1 in the R4000 range.

Hornby released this coach along with the 3 other coaches that made up the prototype SR 4 set. The product codes are R4607/08/09 & 09a. All have lights. I don't have to hand the individual coach numbers or set number but Hornby did number the coaches correctly for the set.

That is exactly what I had hoped for . Thank you  I can now search for the others thanks to the help I have received.

 Not painted green until at least 1956, when built they were Crimson and Cream.

These were Set 869, coaches S34239/S15027/S24305/S34240. From 1952 I believe it was allocated to the 'Man of Kent' service between London and Dover. In the late 1950s/early1960s it was used on Hastings - Birmingham summer services. During alternate weeks it would be stabled at Tyseley and the WR would nick it for the Snow Hill - Wolverhampton stopper in the evening rush hour. Later it lost the SK S24305 and was used as a 3-coach set on West of England services.
