As mentioned above, I created a number of other coach types by 'cut & shut' conversions of the Mike Haworth coaches. As I stumbled across a tray of them while looking for something else, I thought a few photos may be of interest...


D1899 TK – The same diagram as modelled by Farish & the most common P3 coach type.


D1910 BFK – The same diagram as modelled by Farish.


D1915 TO - high capacity "excursion" version. With an extra ½ bay over the Farish 57ft TO (D1999)


D1916 BTO - high capacity "excursion" version. (Farish haven't done a BTO)


D1925/1969 CK – MH Kit as designed


D1948 Buffet – only 4 Period 4 buffets were built


D1968 BTK. Differs to the Farish BTK (D1905) in the location of the Lav  (MH shortened to 57ft)


D2021 TO – 60ft all third. Differs from the Farish 57ft TO (D1999) in having Luggage space at the opposite end to the Lavs


D2121 FK – Farish modelled the rarer D1930 5 ½ compartment version.


'Tea Car' / 'Cafeteria Car' conversion of D2119. 4 Post-WW2 conversions to part open interiors with service counters. Main use seems to have been on Hollyhead boat trains.

Interesting that Farish only produce 2 out of these 10 examples illustrating the sheer number of different types the LMS produced.
Obvious types Farish could do on their existing 57ft chassis are the Buffet and the BTO.

Also in the box were drawings prepared for a 62ft BCK D1932 and the Manchester-Blackpool 'Club car' no 822. Perhaps if this lockdown goes on for a while...
