| Gatwick Express Classes 488 and 489 | |
 |
The class 488 TSOH, TFOH and TSO cars
were converted from Dapol Mk2d coaches using Hurst Models (see contacts list) Gatwick
Express coach underfloor parts and the appropriate car ends had recesses cut into them in
which MJT (see contacts list) jumper cables were inserted. Etched brass door
handles, grab rails and brass wire piping has also been fitted.
The top two Class 489 GLVs were built using MJT (see contacts list) sides, cab ends, jumper cables, ventilators and bogie sides with Southern Pride (see contacts list) underframe parts grafted onto a Lima Mk1 coach, hardly any of which remains! The top livery is that first applied when the Gatwick Express service was launched, the second livery the final "Executive" version before the Intercity livery changed to a wider white stripe and narrower burgundy stripe over a silver-grey lower body side. The bottom GLV was built by David Smith by converting a Hornby Mk1 coach. |
