I popped along to a local exhibition this afternoon and walked about just over £50 lighter having picked up a GWR MK3 Sleeper and a GWR MK3 TGS. Particularly happy about the TGS as it seems that GWR MK3 day stock is like hens teeth.

Well done! Good picture, too.

Interesting - does the TGS have buffers? It looks like someone's taken the chassis from a loco hauled Mk3 and put in under a HST TGS to create a loco hauled BFO.

The TSG is a standard HST TGS, (I believe it originally came from the guagemaster castle class set) I think what you are seeing is a trick of the light reflecting off the coupling. Looking at the buffers on the sleeper, the easiest way of covering it would be to drill 4 holes and add the buffers separately. I might look into doing this at some point in the future.
