N Gauge Discussion / Re: N scale PullmansLast post by Roy L S - November 08, 2024, 07:46:16 AMQuote from: Stuart Down Under on November 07, 2024, 10:13:30 PMQuote from: eddief83 on November 07, 2024, 05:16:22 PM1960's Pullmans used either an original pullman brake or Mark1 BG so hopefully the K Pullman from Revolution will be available on its own for those who want just a brake for their setsOr at least they might offer a pair of K-type brake seconds, to top and tail four Farish Mk1 firsts - the precise formation of the 1960 Master Cutler Pullman, when Mk 1s were introduced to replace the non-brake Ks. I believe that some of the K-type brake seconds were converted from other K-types to compensate for the absence of Mk1 pullman brakes. I am happy to be corrected but I don't think that as yet Revolution have shared their thoughts on how they might package these coaches, but I would assume "packs" of some kind. It is to be hoped that Revolution Trains have identified the "opportunity" and might either sell Brake coaches individually or as pairs to complement the Farish Metro Cammell ones in such trains. Pricing for the Ks is yet obviously an unknown an far too early in the process for this to be confirmed, I would expect that it will to some extent depend on the final spec that is decided on, but as we have already been told that it will be high as befits a Pullman coach, I would be expecting something some way above (say) a Farish Mk 1's RRP. This could though (hopefully) mean that such a small pack of two brakes would be seen as an "affordable" option and thus make commercial sense. Time will tell... Roy #34

The roof vents are different... which is something that I didn't address on my conversion. A Mk 2 FK seating insert should be straightforward (using a Mk 1 interior is less so). #38

Yes, car 355 and car 356 done by the collectors club were part of the SLOA pullman set used on railtours in the 1980's, its a train I did some research into to model and I even managed to get the right coaches for the set. 1960's Pullmans used either an original pullman brake or Mark1 BG so hopefully the K Pullman from Revolution will be available on its own for those who want just a brake for their sets #40
