I confess I have no idea of where in a train the different coaches go.
I'm also lost with all of the different types of coach you can buy!
One of the joys of not caring what I run!!
If it looks nice I will buy and run it, doesn't matter to me if the loco would never have pulled a certain type of coach.
What baffles me is the MK1's MK2's first class brake, corridor, buffet!!!!!!
Nightmare!!
It would be nice to have a little bit of an idea though
I've actually asked this of Hornby magazine to print an article on the different types of coaches why they have the names they do and what order they should go in, in the train.
Are coaches the same as locos and you would only find a certain type of coach in a certain area?
Is there a list anywhere that gives this sort of information, along with which type of loco would pull which coach etc?
I'm sure others new to modelling or just plain don't know may find it interesting.
Thought I'd ask here from you experts just to give me some sort of clue!!
