RUSPER MODEL RAILWAY CLUB


We are in the Hayes area of the London Borough of Bromley

There is an extensive list of BR coach type codes.  The table below is condensed to the most appropriate for Rusper.

Meaning

Brake  

C

F

First Class

G

Gangwayed (e.g. BG - Brake Gangwayed)

K

O

RG

RB

S

 SL

Coach codings are made up of the letters or a combination of same. So, a Brake, First, Corridor would be coded BFK (BSK if it were second class).  Any coach with a corridor is suffixed K.  A corridor composite would be a CK.  For our purposes we have brakes, composites and restaurant coaches in our fixed rakes.  Space restriction on the timetables make it necessary to shorten descriptions so we have Compo or Comp, Rest or Rest’nt and Brake or BSK.
