Now available: Farish Mk3 Coach Corridor Connector

I have limited need for corridor connectors myself, modelling for 1930, but could do with corridor connectors for Poole Farish Pullmans. Are they on the 'forthcoming' list, Barry?

After recently purchasing 10 of these myself I am also interested.
DC or DCC, that is the question.

Is cheaper postage available? An earlier post said postage wouldn't be much. EBay offers me a pack of connectors for $5.65 plus $16 shipping! (I live in Massachusetts.)

markseward

go to our web site and contact us with your requirments Barry can send you a paypal invoice think our international postage is £3.00

the reason it is $16 is that is what ebay charge with there global shipping program

So a reminder of the Corridor Connectors currently available:

All are laser cut to type and thoroughly tested down to 12" radius and through complicated pointwork.

All are £4 for 10 connectors plus £1 P&P

Very interesting, I will be needing lots and lots of these.   I do have a question though. Can you mix and match them ?  For instance I will be running several rakes of Farish MK2's with a MK1 buffet in the middle and/or a MK1 BG at the rear.  I also plan on running the Generator van set (early 80's HST set loco hauled) which was 7 MK3's with a MK1 at each end. Will it be possible to use these on mixed coaches in this way ?

Yes Jamie, not a problem to mix & match.
Remember to use the type of connector coupling to the next coach....
For instance, if you have a mk1 coupled to a Gresley, use a Gresley bellows from the mk1 to the Gresley.....
(Gresleys have much less space between the buffers)
Hope that makes sense!

Ok, great I think I understand it. Are the bellows the same for MK1, MK2 and MK3 with the ends being different
or are the bellows different too ?

All the bellows are different Jamie as the corridor ends for each different type coach are different (sizes & shape), not just the connector blank ends.
But when mixing coach types, you have to be aware that some buffers are closer together and with a wider bellows (like a Mk1) it would cause problems with a Gresley coach. So use a Gresley bellows from the mk1 to the Gresley.
It looks fine.
