hello erik,beautiful carriages english.I took a break for a few days because I updated my playlists and I'm building Italian planes of the 2nd world war.thumbs up dear greetings 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi, your mark 1 coaches are a Brake Second and Tourist Second open. Their code letters are BSK and TSO. Mark 1s were built from 1951 until 1974 and thousands were made. After 1964 only EMUs and post office mail train mark 1s were built. Locomotive hauled coaches from then on were mark 2. There were 14 types of mark 1, I won't list them all, they included restaurant, kitchen, buffet, sleeping as well as the post office mail coaches. There were also parcels cars built to a shorter length. The basic types were = BSK as above, BFK first class and BCK 1st and 2nd class composite brake coaches. SK second, FK first and CK composite corridor coaches. SO and TSO (depending on number of seats) second and tourist second open - 8 large windows per side, FO first open - 7 large windows per side. There was no open composite. Three main types of bogie were fitted, mark 1, which was not satisfactory after much use, commonwealth, fitted from about 1960 and later, B4 which was retrofitted to replace the earlier mark 1s. Finally there were many non-corridor mark 1 coaches built, including EMUs, to both body lengths. I hope this is helpful.
@@lazythreadd It is, thanks 🙏 A shorter luggage coach seems interesting! I wonder if Lima or Jouef have produced such in H0-scale. I have a shorter Lima luggage coach but it is SNCF 🙂
I never met these before, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them on offer with a German reseller on Ebay. They were shy over 10 euros each and postage was very high, but I like them very much. Thanks for watching!
Those coaches are a perfect partner for your class 33. Your carriage is not a buffet, its a standard 2nd class carriage. Class 33's worked Portsmouth to Bristol trains with 4 coach rakes of this stock in the 1980's.
@@martinbrain3372 That's great, a standard second class and that brake/guard coach make a nice short train then. Thanks for commenting and watching the video! 🙋♂️ Erik
Hi Erik these blue and grey Mk1 Jouef Coaches are in very good condition for their age. I am sure you will find a solution for the couplings, the Ho coaches are perfect for your layout. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
@@paulvozman842 Hi Paul, these were a great find indeed. The price was reasonable, the postage rather bot, but I am glad I have purchased them anyway. They fit very well in the collection. Thanks for watching!
These odd couplings on the coach are a 1960s Peco style - I just found out they are called R-2 Simplex couplings. I have a mix of these and the more standard D couplings on my Jouef H0 British rolling stock... I didn't work out yet how to manage this - probably by swapping bogies to make switcher carriages...
@@ben222b I have started replacing the hook couplers, and I switched the R-2 to the other side of the break, so I can interconnect both coaches with the R2 but connect them to regular European couplers at the other end. By the way, I have again been thinking of switching to hook couplers but I have tested and the distance between wagons was bigger with hook couplers than with short European couplers. Thanks for watching the video!

Hello,
Nice Vlog, I really liked it, have a nice evening!🍀
Greetings Seven🖖
@@SevenWelt Hi Seven, these old coaches are nice indeed. Thanks for watching!
Интересно было посмотреть.👍👍
@@pavlovskiy.668 Спасибо за просмотр 🙏🙋♂️👍
I never knew that these came in BR Blue/Grey. Very nice.

They are shorter than prototype but ideal for tight curves and small layouts. I picked up 3 maroon ones at a car boot for £2 recently! Good video 👍
@@michaela21212 Yes, the shorter coaches fit better. Thanks for watching!
