    Thank you all for the latest. The album from Tony Cane shows some great opportunities for conversions. I like the Siphon G 2067 converted to carry stretchers. It doesn’t have much in the way of livery change. These photos alongside Jenkinson and Essery should provide info on source vehicles.

    Thank you all for suggestions Lots of options Will try NRM for lists and running numbers as well as Jenkinson and Essery

    I’ve read a number of threads about a range of coach types and non-passenger vehicles that were used as ambulance coaches in WW2. Are there any RTR examples that are known to have been used in this way (I’m aware of siphon G and SR luggage vans) that could be converted by renumbering and applying of appropriate livery (eg Red Cross and white roof) and are such running numbers known and listed somewhere? Thanks

    Great thanks No criticism for the siphon digression - it was me who asked the question and it has all been useful I now have a longer list of conversions to do which will be fun

    Great thanks To return to the main thread having made a journey into GWR matters rather than my GUV - Am I right over the LMS GUV taking 36-024 LMS Bachmann

    Just found a Stafford Road Works - Shapeways entry for GWR 8’ & 9’ bogies assume they would do for the siphon G

    Re the Bachmann Bogies... The one I’ve found listed are 36-005A Mk1 36-007A Bulleid 36-008A Commonwealth 36-024 LMS 36-037 B4 36-038 Y25 Am assuming the LMS GUV takes 36-024 LMS which I take it are for NPCS Supplementary at a tangent Conversion of Hornby GWR Siphon G is advised by some on another thread to take American Bogies Are these available by Bachman? Showing my ignorance, are they on that list I’ve just quoted

    Thanks for the further info links and offers. About to go ahead on an eBay version in great condition. Will probably get going on upgrade given all the encouragement
  10. Simon60
    Any information is a help but the upgrade won’t be imminent Purchase of the item plus acquiring parts is next step
  11. Simon60
    Thank you all for the comments All helpful and I’ll give an upgrade a go Hope I’m not bidding against The Johnster on eBay Comment on the Stove R was just that at one stage I was tempted to get one and go through the upgrading but another thread put me off with the amount of work I gather there is a Comet models version but don’t know how that stacks up
  12. Simon60
    Can anyone make a comment on how accurate the Lima LMS GUV 37762 is? Is it a correct diagram? Does it share the same problems as the Dapol LMS Stove R?
  13. Simon60
    Thanks
  14. Simon60
    Sorry I wasn’t clear i meant a comparison across their whole range in general
  15. Simon60
    While we’re on ...how does Mainline stack in general terms v say today’s Hornby and Bachmann
  16. Simon60
    Thanks both That gives me a way forward
  17. Simon60
    Thanks a) what bogies would be a good swap out b) how does Mainline stack up on accuracy sorry, just managed to open your first link which helps on bogies comments on Mainline still be good though

    Just missed a Hornby R6539 BR Siphon H on eBay If I do manage to find another, is it a good candidate for a repaint and renumber to a GWR Siphon H?
  20. Simon60
    This has probably been asked before but... Can someone give me a run down on SR Green Liveries Eg are Olive, Malachite and Bulleid greens found at the same time during era 3 or Did they follow one after the other I’m trying to get hold of SR Bogie Luggage Vans and Van Cs and the former come in Olive and Malachite the latter in Olive and Bulleid Ultimately I want to know what I can run together thanks
  21. Simon60
    Thanks both
  22. Simon60
    Does anyone know of any shared or joint parcels depots in big 4 era? Likewise any shared operations at stations?
  23. Simon60
    Anyone know of any RTR, kit or potential conversion for those diagrams recently mentioned by Miss Prism and Wickham Green ie K9, K10, K12, K17 C10, M28
  24. Simon60
    Thank you
  25. Simon60
    Please can anyone say whether they are aware of any clerestory Passenger stock from the big 4 in era 3 being converted to carry parcels? If so are any such represented in Hornby stock that might be ripe for a modelling conversion? Thank you
