Hi, New to hobby and needing help how to identify the brand of teak coaches I have, metal wheels with no name or markings on sub frame. Any ideas

I would say either Minitrix or early Graham Farish, a picture is worth a thousand words and will quickly identify them for sure.

As the TV advert says "I know you . You're an existing member" (you signed up in 2016)
We won't take you away in your chair, though.
Good to know you're still with us :D
As said, a photo would help hugely but it has to be less than 2MB

Sorry, I just found this thread. If it is a Dapol or Minitrix coach, it will have a bow end roof to it. Both are marked on the bottom of the underframe - Dapol's is between the battery boxes in the center and Minitrix's is just behind one of the sole bars. If the coach has no bow at the end of the roof, then it is likely a Farish coach which is generic and doesn't confirm to any LNER coach built.

Do a Google search for each of the following and see which matches your model:
Farish 0602 LNER 57ft Suburban Coach
Farish 0612 LNER 57ft Suburban Brake End Coach
Farish 0622 LNER 57ft Mainline Corridor Coach
Farish 0632 LNER 57ft Mainline Brake End Coach
Farish 0662 LNER 4 wheel coach
Farish 0672 LNER 4 wheel Brake End coach

Dapol NC-044
Dapol NC-045
Dapol NC-046
Dapol 2P-011-104
Dapol 2P-011-105
Dapol 2P-011-207
Dapol 2P-011-208
Dapol 2P-011-303
Dapol 2P-011-304
Minitrix 13013
Minitrix 13014

Farish and Minitrix should have silver wheels (unless upgraded).
Farish have straight ends to the roof when you look from the top. Dapol and Minitrix are curved. Dapol sole bars (I beam section below main body) is painted on Dapol model, left black on Farish and Minitrix
