Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Nice! Do you have any other push-pull coaches to go with it? I have nearly 100 Mk3's so I will be sorting the windows out on a few of them to run with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 In push pull mode I know that my 121's and 201's can work the Mk3 driving trailer and that the 071 can't but what about the 141/181 were they kitted out for push pull as I've seen them double heading with 121's and the Mk3 driving trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) In push pull mode I know that my 121's and 201's can work the Mk3 driving trailer and that the 071 can't but what about the 141/181 were they kitted out for push pull as I've seen them double heading with 121's and the Mk3 driving trailer I'm pretty sure they weren't Anto, they just hauled them as normal coaching stock. I've seen pictures of 071s hauling them as normal coaching stock too. Edited May 22, 2012 by Warbonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barl Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 In push pull mode I know that my 121's and 201's can work the Mk3 driving trailer and that the 071 can't but what about the 141/181 were they kitted out for push pull as I've seen them double heading with 121's and the Mk3 driving trailer As far as I know only the 121's and 201's were fitted with door controls too so when they were being used as standard coaching stock with 071's and 141/181's a guard had to stay in the driving trailer to operate the doors.

Used to be found on Silver Fox Models’ site but I’d say they haven’t been made for a good bit so your best hopes would be on eBay— as expensive as it is.

I think it's usually around autumn when Silver Fox do runs of Irish stock. I think that the last run of Mk3 DVT's was late 2019 or late 2020.

If they say no, unless a minimum quantity is met, put me down for two! Keep an eye on Adverts.ie. Gerry Hoey / Millipede had one for sale relatively recently. They pop up on eBay from time to time, sometimes at stupid prices but sometimes at fair prices. DC Kits either do or used to do them in kit form.

And the Murphys one will be along soon, the one on adverts cant really be described as a 'model' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
