Paul-380474 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Hi I own the R3184 Brighton Belle train pack. This is the one which is DCC fitted and has a plug-together electrical connection between the cars to provide ON/OFF table light function across to the dummy car. Was there ever a set of extra coaches for this pack which had the same plug together connections? I have looked at a series of 3 coach sets but they all have standard close coupling plastic connectors or even the standard Hornby bar and hook connectors. These will not work with the R3184 set.

Going Spare Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Coach pack R4582 was issued in 2013 to augment R3184. It contained cars Audrey, Vera and No.87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-380474 Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Thanks for that Going Spare. The trick now is to find a pack!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) I think you could probably fit coaches R4512, R4513 and R4514 (these coaches did not come as a pack) - these are the coaches that went with R2987X (DCC fitted). I don't think R3184 was DCC Fitted - no "X" after the number. Whatever you do, do not consider coach pack R4871, these coaches went with R3606 and have different coupling/connections, and will only attach to R3606. For some reason I do not have the R3606 Driving/Trailer cars, but I do have all of the others. Edited March 31 by Bulleidboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I would add that there are specific coaches for the Brighton Belle Motor/Trailer units. Normal Pullman coaches will not fit, and are actually a different shape. All Brighton Belle coaches have electrical couplings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Man Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Nice that, BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Thanks Brew Man - this is the R2987X 1934 DCC Fitted unit. I suppose the new TXS 4-VEP sound decoder would go well in this unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
