We started posting them out last week :) Hi @McC, Are they still in the process of being sent out? Hope so... still waiting here.

The Evil Bus Driver Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 @McC Are the magnetic couplings going to be made available as a spare for mk2 stock? It'd be handy to have a few extras. I know the Dellners are. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be handy to have a few extras. I know the Dellners are. I gave magnetic couplings (Hunt, not Accurascale) a good test on our club layout yesterday, KOYLI with load 14 of WCRC coaches - a mix of AS and Bachmann Mk2s and Hornby and Bachmann Mk1s. It worked and looked and sounded magnificent, but I think it was approaching the limit for magnetic couplings! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaMatthews Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Sincerest apologies if this has been covered already, amateur here. I bought 4 of these mk2’s in WCRC livery with the idea of renumbering two of them. I’ve had a good search around and so far have only found 5453 to be a suitable renumber. Does anybody know of any other suitable numbers? Many Thanks!

No you're not missing anything :) they are all Diagram 105 Mk2b TSO's - no 2b TSO's were ever built (or later converted) with centre doors. Only the Mk2 & 2a TSO's had the centre doors / transverse corridors. Note 5463 & 5491 were both scrapped last year if that's of any relevance.
