I note that in conjunction with the Swanage railway and others they are producing Adams T3 class 4-4-0 No 563 in '0rribly 0versize" I've sent an Email to Swanage railway asking if they can shrink one for me.(about 6 minutes in the video)

Welcome return of the Mk2's in there, bet they sell like hot cakes

Welcome return of the Mk2's in there, bet they sell like hot cakes

My wife has my Christmas list 

I'm also delighted to see the RTR D600s, just a shame that D600 herself is not available in original condition.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for a retooled PGA Tullis Russell wagon and for an N gauge PRA wagon in the future.

Had just about given up and planning on selling my Scotrail DBSO...
Some nice new p.o's in OO, which i hope will shrink in due course...

Had just about given up and planning on selling my Scotrail DBSO...

I thought the Mk2F DBSO ran with Mk3 and a class 47 on Edinburgh Glasgow services (C&M Models commissioned the Mk3 from Dapol). The Scotrail Mk2a were more usually found on the likes of the Glasgow to Aberdeen trains, running with a BG or BSO.

Yes, I rarely pre-order items, but I have done so for these as there will be about eight years worth of demand to satisfy and I don't want to miss out.

[Steven B]

You'll find some of the 2022 batch of Blue/Grey Mk2 BSO (374-680A) in the shops. There's not been a Blue/Grey TSO since 2015!

It would have been nice if they'd re-run the NSE versions too. Maybe a Spring 2025 release? Perhaps with a Regional Railways BSO or TSO or FK in Transpennine.

It'd be really nice if they'd tool the BFK interior and underframe (shared body with the BSO).

I wonder how many people would notice if you just applied a yellow stripe?

Steven B

No it wouldn't! Not just after I've made one with your help!

[Steven B]

I wonder how many people would notice if you just applied a yellow stripe?

The trouble is, I want a BFK in Regional Railways colours - Farish have yet to do the BSO in these colours (which I believe is because only Mk2b/2c BSO carried the livery).

My rake of Reg' Rail' Mk2a is currently running with a Mk1 BSK, which whilst prototypically correct wasn't a common occurrence - BFK would be preferable (as would a Mk2b/Mk2c!).

In the Rail Express formations guide for Scotrail push-pull trains they list one as

DBSO - 4 x Mk2 TSO and 47711 all all in Scotrail from Perth to Glasgow in May 86

Couple of other formations of use

DBSO - Mk2 FK, 3 x Mk2 TSO in BR Blue & Grey and 47710 in blue Edinburgh to Inverness July 84

47701 Scotrail, Mk1 BG Scotrail,m 3 x Mk2D TSO, Mk2 TSOT all Scotrail, Mk2F FO (blue & grey) and DBSO Scotrail

Steven B

Yeah, I've got two BSOs to make up for the lack of TSOs, but oddly enough I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. Although I didn't realise that the underframe is different, I was thinking that I could just add the seating section from a FK and add the yellow stripe. Is the underframe radically different?

[Steven B]

I've learnt something today - I had no idea the Scotrail Mk2a ran with the Mk2F DBSO.

Ignore my early comment about the BFK underframe being different to the BSO - I think they're broadly the same. I was mixing them up with the Mk2F TSO and BSO which do have differences.

As I grew up in Perth and frequented Perth station...frequently, I can confirm the Glasgow Aberdeen push pull services were DBSOs and Mk2s.

Some excellent detail here, reply 29:  https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/47-7-push-pulls.129282/post-2692184
