Farish Blue/grey Mk1's

[47033]

Thank you for your interest in our products.

I can confirm that the only difference between item Nos. 374-062C and 374-055E will be the running number.
I trust this information is of interest to you,
Kind regards
Richard Proudman

This is the reply I received from Graham Farish to the question I posed regarding the difference between the two and if 374-055E was the latest blue ribband.  Great, another rake of Blue/Grey MK1 compo's will be coming my way.

Glad you're able to get the rake you want.

I understand that the Blue Riband description has been dropped. It's going confused me too!

Doesn't the repeat issue of a GF part number but with a different suffix denote a production re-run but with (perhaps) the running number changes as mentioned, or am I confused about that as well?

There was a thread earlier this year on the topic. http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=27616.0

In rakes of blue/grey Mark 1 coaches on the Southern region, there was invariably a mix of different bogie types. The question is, were some coaches fitted with a different bogie at each end ?

[scruff]

I think each coach was fitted with both bogies matching.
I don't ever recall seeing a coach with different bogies at each end.

I don't recall ever seeing different bogies on the same coach either, that being said I don't remember looking that often.

Some kitchen cars had a B4 one end and a B5 the other. As nobody does the B5 variant I wouldn't worry 

Apart from that I'm not aware of any mismatches. The kitchen cars were special as all the weight was one end.
