Swanage are using West Coast Mark I & II carriages for the Wareham service. As I understand it the 4TC was planned to be used but wasn't ready in time. I don't know if it'll be used once the work being carried out is completed. Went for a look today. Train was 37 518 in EWS red, Mark 2 brake, 3 Mark1 carriages and green class 33 at the other end. Couldn't get the number as only the class 37 and 3 coaches fit in the bay! The class 37 is not EWS it be longs to west coast railways and not red and the coaches are west coast the 33 is D6515 name LT JENNY LEWIS RN. all in maroon colour except the 33 and there is no bay platform at warham station.

I didn't say it was in a bay at Wareham, it was in the short platform (maybe not technically a bay) at Swanage.

OK. Different engine, different train, different station. But, apart from that...

I was amused that someone seemed determined to contradict everything you said.

Getting back to the 4TC, the images of the repainted carriages have been removed from the Carl Watson website.

Interesting that the second one is a diesel train with a 400 ton trailing load. I would guess a 4TC set at ~140 tons.

Add about six WCR bogie carriages for Southall, that should be around 400 tons.

Even if full and standing it wouldn't exceed 150 tons. Adding a loco dead in train wouldn't add more than a hundred tons or so. The third move (back to Southall) is also a 400 ton trailing load.

It does look good, the red suits it. Not sure its based on anything, but at least its better than the vinyl wrap. Have they redone the moquette on the inside to be something Met-like?
