Post by: ianwales on April 12, 2021, 01:37:08 PM
Hi all

I Know Bachfar have done a BR Mk1 TPO Sorting coach, but, have they done or going to do the stowage coach as well as they have done in 4mm?

They've not announced one so far.  I can't see it being high on their To-do list but I'd be more suprised if they never do it.

In the mean time you can run the sorting van prototypically with BG in dedicated TPO trains (as per those that served Holyhead and Workington).

I was just looking at Worsley Works - they do various TPOs to fit Farish coach bodies:

Believe it or not, I've never actually done any TPO sides. Of course, if anyone requests a set, I couldn't say no...  :)
