BR MK1 Stock Weights

Post by karlrestall »

Hi All,

I am just wondering what the weights are of the BR MK1 coaches are; specifically the BATS MK1 coaches i.e FO, BSK, CK, BG, RFO, SK and TSO? I know that they all weigh different amounts but cannot find out the information. Can anyone help?

Regards

As far as I am aware the following coaches should weigh around these amounts.

SO: 33ton
TSO: 33ton
FO: 33ton to 35ton
SK: 33ton to 35ton
FK: 33ton to 35ton
CK: 33ton to 35ton
BCK: 35ton to 38ton
BFK: 35ton
BSK: 36ton
BG: 33ton
RMB: 36ton
RB: 38ton
RKB: 39ton

Don't trust those completely though, that is just from memory of what I've worked with.
