clarkeeboy56 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have three green Bachmann Mk1's (2 x BSK and one CK) to form a set. I have looked on the SEMGOnline site so have picked my set - probably in the 520-528 range. Now I know that the set numbers were fitted on the top l/h corner of the brake ends...but the Bachmann coaches have four foot steps on the end - any photo I've seen of the prototypes look as if the top three have been removed - or just simply aren't there! HELP! Should I remove them, and were they on the right hand side of the coach end? Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkeeboy56 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I found the answer, in a 2015 edition of Model Rail......the steps were removed due to the overhead electrification programme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Careful though as the steps weren't removed until later. From 1960 I think. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bécasse Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Certainly the red-on-white electrification flashes started to be applied from June 1960, so I would expect the step removal programme to have been initiated then too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
