Well as some of you may know, i STUPIDLY bought some stanier coaches thinking they were mk1s....and seeing as my railway (nymr) only ses mk1s im stumped at what i can do with the 8 staniers iv got!

Im sure there is some use to them, whether it be repaintng them into something different...chopping them to look like coaches under restore...i dont know!

Any ideas? Like i say they arent really the right coaches to run on my railway and im stuck with 8 of them!

You could sell them again  :doh:

Not really much you can convert them into. Stanier coaches are basically Stanier coaches 8)

Only interesting later conversion I can think of were the steam heat vans for the early overhead services. Quite a few made departmentla use but I can imagine they'd not be found on a 1:1 scale LNER trainset 8)
