BREL Internationals vs Mk3

Post by PFX »

As part of a few reskins I'm doing, can anyone answer a query I have on the windows on the International stock please? They appear to be a bit taller than the Mk3 stock, is that the case? I know they weren't as wide but I can't find a good picture which shows them side by side that I can compare an approximate measurement.

Cheers,
Innis

This and this photo from Train Testing shows some International coaches in a rake with a Mk3 laboratory coach. You're right; the windows do seem to be a bit bigger. Although they start at about the same place, they seem to extend further down than on the Mk3. This site has some pictures of them in their second life on the other side of the Irish Sea, but unfortunately most of the Mk3s pictured next to the International coaches are generator vans. Possibly you can get a measurement off the vents if you assume they are the same size as the windows were or can check the size of the vents against a passenger Mk3 window.
