Title: GWR B Set
Post by: DWS on December 11, 2013, 08:43:09 AM
Hi,

I hope this is the right place for this.  I am trying to find a pair of N gauge GWR/BR non-corridor brake composite coaches to make up a 'B Set' but after a few hours searching the 'net I can't find anyone who makes them?  Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Search on the Osborns website for NC-OSB001 Dapol 'B' Set Pair in GWR Crest Livery on http://www.osbornsmodels.co.uk/ (http://www.osbornsmodels.co.uk/)  they don't allow direct links but they are under Dapol Coaches, second page, third row up from the bottom.  It shows them out of stock at the moment but could be worth a call as they have had special runs of them.

Thanks for the info, the type I am after is the one pointed out by Trevor in BR Maroon as I am modelling the 1950s.  At least I now know they exist and what I'm looking for.  As for serching the 'Net, it's probably a case of not seeing the wood for the trees...    :goggleeyes:

Thanks to the info provided, I have just 'Won' a pair of new Dapol B Set coaches NC-005 & NC-006   :D

They will look good at Thornfalcon with my Dapol 5700 Pannier Tank (new issue 2S-007-007 on order) when it arrives.

Thanks again.
