jcm@gwr Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Another question for all you Southern followers, from my F-in-L again. Does anyone know of any photos of the 2-PAN, as he wishes to do a conversion. (For those not in the know, the 2-PAN [Parcels And Newspapers] was a "60's conversion from the 2-HAL) Mostly, they just took out all the seats and some of the partitions, but he is not sure what they did with the corridor bit. Thanks in advance, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi Jeff, I have followed Southern EMU's for many years and have not come across a 2 PAN and I am wondering if these were conversions that were planned but never materialized? Nice to be proved wrong though! XF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcm@gwr Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks Nes, That's a great photo to start his conversion, and some useful info as well (numbers, etc.) XF, I think Nes has proved you wrong! Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcm@gwr Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 AFAIA, externally it was only a number change, plus, some sort of black panel (to chalk the destination onto) on the doors. But, this is why the photos would be helpful! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13, 2014 Would make a good quick conversion from the forthcoming Hornby model assuming it arrives! XF Hi Nigel So you have heard the station announcement "Due to an unexpected delay. The next train from Margate will be late." Never mind when it does arrive it will be met with sound of "Oooo Errrr" from the platform enders. Edit, back on topic, I agree it will be an easy conversion and a nice variation to see on SR layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium zarniwhoop Posted April 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2014 Been away from this site, only just found this thread. I *used* to have a photo from (I suppose) December 1970 of three of these at Hove. Unfortunately I binned both the print and the negative in about 1980 :-( What I do remember is that at least one of them was very faded (the palest blue I've ever seen on BR, more Cambridge than Oxford) and some of the windows were also painted - presumably metal panels replacing broken glass, but equally faded. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
