Jarmoor Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I have a mail coach R4155. Anyone know LMS coaches that match for colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Spare Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Have a look at LMS composite R4388 and brake 3rd R4389 in the Railroad range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpjallan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have one of these. I run it with the Hornby Period III Stanier LMS coaches. I have mine apart at the moment. I'm going to replace the roof vents, replace the couplings & maybe put some lights in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81F Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I have two coupled together with a LIMA LMS luggage van (The short one not the Mk1 BG) and two Bachmann LMS BG. The only trouble was the rooves did not match so I sprayed the Mail coach fooves Humbrol Tank Grey. (or you could use the Hornby model which have silver roofs.Another change was to replace the original Hornby Mk1 bogies with bachmann LMS ones which I have riveted in place.

I might do that. I have to confess, I didn't take much notice of the bogies.Just one more thing - does anyone know about the spotlights on the side of these mail coaches?
