Hi Guys

I suffer from a complete lack of disiplin and buy whatever I like the look ofbnand justify this by claiming to be a "Heritage" railway but unlike the real world I doo tend to try and match the loco and stock to both time and place, As such I've spent more on rolling stockthan I care to remember. I'm sure that my stock is worth more than my car, fortunatly it's in the loft and SWMBO hasn't seen the whole lot together for some years.

Just to chuck another spanner in your works, you'll have to make sure you coaches are running on the correct type bogies. Most railtour stock is running on either B4 or Commonwealth bogies, both available from Bachmann as replacements for the B1 bogies fitted to most of their Mk1 stock. T
he Commonwealth bogies are quite cheap now but the B4 is still commanding a premium at over £6 a pair most places, which really pushes up the price of each coach.

Hi Dan,

Have you found a supplier that sells them for less, I think it a bit much that I can buy a whole coach for £17 yet a set of B4 bogies is £6+ whilst all other types are £2-£3 a pair.
