Hi All,

Looking for some coaches in particular - Hornby R597 B.R Operating Royal Mail Coach M30250M

Anyone have any no longer needed and likely to sell. Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks, Al.

Which livery are you interested in? I have blue/grey ones but I don't have the equipment to go with them.

Hi Mountain Goat,

Thanks for reply, but looking for livery in BR "MAROON" and with Royal Crest "E.R"

Cheers, Al

I have an old one with the ER logo and in Maroon - unfortunately the top has some marks (looks like from a soldering iron) and the numbering is slightly worn.

I've changed the wheels from the original too. One of the 'flaps' doesn't seem to stay closed.

If you're interested then let me know. It was obtained as part of a group of 2nd hand coaches with the 'good intention' of using them in a siding with coverings, probably about 4 or more years ago. You can have it if you wish.

Hi IanS,

Thanks for response, can you advise if your coach is as attached photo.

Al.

It is not quite the same. Mine is a Tri-ang version. The roof is different and the flaps are maroon in keeping with the body.

Photos coming.....

I seem to recall the Triang version is a lot shorter to match their short coaches .

More photos....
showing the damage referred to on the roof.

You're welcome to have it if it's any use to you.

It is quite a short coach.

IanS, thanks for getting back and posting some photos. Unfortunately not the version we are looking for, your feedback was much appreciated.
