Help with matching coaches to Royal Mail coach R4155

[Jarmoor]

I have a mail coach R4155. Anyone know LMS coaches that match for colour.

I'm not sure if this helps but Barrie Davis has loads & Loads of these 'Mail Carriages' Take a look at his video & you might see it in his video!!! :- (1) I Need to Post a Letter - YouTube 🚂

Have a look at LMS composite R4388 and brake 3rd R4389 in the Railroad range.

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.

Thanks all - probably best to visit a model shop.

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.

That's a good idea. 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?
