The Super BG was a Mk1 BG refurbished with the double doors replaced with roller shutters. Likewise with the GUV.

N Gauge Discussion / Re: The Travelling Post Office...Last post by GWR-Kris - Yesterday at 05:02:36 PMQuote from: crewearpley40 on Yesterday at 04:40:48 PMIdeally Well my layout isnt really based on any particular place, just a hypothetical route going from London to Scotland, prob based around the Newcastle area. Im just after something that would look like you would see on the tracks as there not many pictures online to base it on and most are blury at best. Was looking at the 374-775B and 374-776B. Would they be made up of a mix of Era8 and Era9 stock? #16

N Gauge Discussion / The Travelling Post Office Hel...Last post by GWR-Kris - Yesterday at 02:34:47 PMIm looking at making a travelling post office train, my layout is set in early 2000s and wanted to put together a train. Now having checked there is only currently two era 9 post office coaches 374-980 and 374-980A. All the others appear to be ERA8. However 374-975 and 374-975A appear to be very close in terms of the livery.
Does anyone have any info to help put together a rake ideally looking for around 6 coaches atm #18

N Gauge Discussion / Re: What are these couplings c...Last post by chipperuk - Yesterday at 11:51:27 AMSorry, been away for a break!
This was indeed a slightly 'adapted' (being kind) mk2 coach. The others are all Mk1 BGs / Newspaper coaches which is why I said Mk1 in the original post and then managed to use the one that wasn't a Mk1 for the pics - sorry for the confusion. I did managed to pop a couple of the couplings out and replace with standard sprung couplings on a couple of them, which is what I need for now, but will probably leave the others alone for the time being. #20
