davebem Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Had a lucky find with these, my local model shop re-opened after lockdown this week and had some TSOs left so I snapped up all the blue & grey ones they had. For anyone that still needs some they had a couple of Intercity TSO left (Signal Box in Anstey Leics) and have a buy 4 get 5th coach free offer. I need some advice on the prototypes of these farish releases, I assume they are early or as built for Eastern region numbered for Deltic formations? They look great behind my large log Dapol 50, but to be prototypical for my mainly western region layout mid to late 80s what modifications would i need to make, e.g. renumbering? Current formation based on some images I found: BG(mk1)+FO+FO+RMB(mk1)+TSO+TSO+TSO. Edited April 18, 2021 by davebem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current formation based on some images I found: BG(mk1)+FO+FO+RMB(mk1)+TSO+TSO+TSO. In 1987 the following WR Mk2f were still in B/G 3280/3292/3293/3340/3363/3375/3387/3389/3395/3408/3419/3433/3438 all OM 5912/5929/5933/5944/5949/5950/5986/6001/6010/6022/6028/6053/6063/6110/6123 either PZ or OM. By 1988 all Mk2f day FO/TSO were at LMR or SCR depots. In 1986/87 OM did not have any RMBs but the had two RBR ex RB and three RBR ex RU 1924, 1946, 1953 - the farish model of the RU is wrong for refurbished version but as there isn't RB available then it's as close as possible RTR. OM did have a number of earlier Mk2s and in many photos there are non a/c Mk2 in services - mainly BFK/FK but OM also had a couple of Mk2a BSOs 9429/9432 which farish do. The cross country trains to Bristol and beyond in the period did have some Mk2fs but were mainly Mk2es. The WCML routed services were mainly 2TSO/Mk2d BFK/2TSO/RBR/2TSO/Mk2d BFK/2TSO - in 1988 cross country had only 6 Mk2f FO and they seemed to be on Reading and south coast services. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
