QUOTE (Sidney Sidings @ 18 Dec 2006, 22:48) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>The Maunsell coaches would be a welcome addition to be pulled by the M7 and I hope Hornby do make them. By the way has Bachmann ever released their suburban stock in Southern Region green?
Sid.
Looking through the Ramsays guide no they haven't but there is the first part of an article about the useage of "suburban" mk1 rolling stock in this months model rail and it looks like very few were allocated to the Southern region. In fact initially allocations were eastern 251, western 187, midland 139, scottish 134, southern 34 That may have had an influence and those not scrapped ended up on the Eastern region I think. Bachmann've only just got round to doing blue ones though not out yet.
If hornby do decide to do a Southern carriage range to accompany their loco's it will leave Bachmanns pre BR range looking somewhat dated all round although their LMS and GWR offerings are quite nice.
