It's a while since I've looked at mine, but there are holes for the DBSO specific parts as the chassis is shared. There may be extra holes, but can't remember Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk2d had the toilets in a different location to the E & F variants (same side rather than opposite corners). Mk2d & Mk2e shared air-con designs, whilst that on the F was simplified. It may be possible that Farish have plans to replace the underframe gubbins to allow them to make a Mk2E (I believe the body is basically the same). As it is, with the Mk2F they've chosen the most numerous type (there were almost as many Mk2F as D & E types combined). My guess is that Farish will stop at the Mk2F - anyone wanting Mk2D (or B & C for that matter ) will probably be best looking towards Accurascale, Rapido or Revolution.

RMweb Premium Crepello Posted June 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2023 No postings for a month for Farish now! Maybe some frothing is in order! Do we reckon early BR Freightliner FFA/FGA sets might feature in the August announcement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very nice and welcome. But wish listing is just hot air, and that's the last thing we could do with now in this heatwave. Some rain would be welcome. It's so long since we've had any that I've forgotten what it's like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rained at ours on Monday evening for about 1.5 hour solid, the streets were flooded, Asda has been shut two days to deal with a the impact and the wife said it was like driving in a Tsunami. When it arrived it also brought extremely strong winds so trees breaking branches etc. Then back to 'too hot' again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 This might be of use to some, I have taken the Farish availability data and added it to a spreadsheet - I added a column for type based on their categories and then sorted it by date so top is in the warehouse and bottom is what's awaiting a delivery date. I will try to update it periodically Farish Availability.xlsx 3 1 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
