GWR Caste Set HST Additional carriages

GWR Castle Set Class 43 HST

I'm considering purchasing a Dapol Castle set in GWR livery.
However, I'd need it to be a 2 plus 4 set so would need two spare carriages.
Are these available please ?

I've looked but cannot see any but maybe I'm being dense.

Pretty sure Rails Sheffield maybe able to help

Sadly out of stock but the catalogue number is listed

Not dense in the least Martin. As ever they've sold through quickly, so whilst the bookset is available in a few shops the add-on coaches are not. The part numbers are GM2310101 and GM2310102 for the additional coaches, but sadly it's likely to be an eBay saved search job!

HSTs are always welcome anywhere! Even the half pint ones!

It's not been unknown for those short HSTs to run as 2+3 as well in service.

If you are looking on auction sites you need the ones with the all silver doors, not the ones with a green band mid way up the door as the latter are for the earlier GWR HST sets or for the Night Riviera if you ignore the fact that they do not have buffers.
