    Hello Folks,

    I'm curious as to how Big 4 and BR coach numbering was applied to narrow gauge railways? I'm building a 16mm railway that has, hypothetically, been nationalized as part of the BR Western Region, and wondered how the coaches would/should be numbered?

    Many thanks

    Might be worth continuing from the VoR BR(W) series perhaps?
