Suggestions Hornby 61ft 6in Teak formation

#1

Post by dtb »

I acquired 6 Hornby 61ft 6in teak coaches recently at an online auction at a decent price.

My intention was shall I keep them or flip them on ebay and make some money to subsidise other purchases, however they are a nice coach and I can run them with my Hornby sound fitted Mallard.

Is there a suggested formation for the coaches I acquired or do I need to add to the formation.

R4170A Corridor Brake Coach
R4170B Corridor Brake Coach
R4171 1st Corridor
R4172 3rd Class
R4173 Buffet
R4174 Sleeper

Thanks all.

I have these four LNER Teaks R4170A, R4171, R4172 and R4173 that were bought for me in 2006 as a Christmas gift.

If you are going to use yours, you can add to those you have to make up a full train. I am not sure the sleeper carriage would be required? I would assume a "sleeper" train would have been made up of several of these coaches - not just one in a rake. Sorry cannot be of more help.
