eastwestdivide Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Here's one from 1988 - it shows the whole train at least; front coach looks like a Mk2 BSO, and the buffet's a Mk3, but the perspective means I'm finding it hard to make my mind up on Mk2/3s for the rest - perhaps someone else can help. I can't lay my hands on any notes for this. It's just possible I may have noted the coaches down, but I might have lost interest by then. Are you modelling the window-hangers? Seems to have been popular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40044 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 From memory, one set was a Mk3 'Pullman' set, and another was an EBW set formed largely of Mk2F stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a Mk2 set, you are right about the mk3 buffet, because there was a shortage of mk1 buffets at the time, but you can tell its a mk2 set because the roofs are smooth, I like 31s and lima made a large number of Pullman mk3s so its an easy rake to prototypically model.
