Biography[]
Thomas & Friends[]
Diesel 43047 pulled at least pull at least five of these coaches coupled between its ends. They were used to deliver the mail brought from Sodor.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
These coaches are based on British Rail (BR) Mark 3 variants used by high-speed trains. These are distinguished from locomotive-hauled stock by their lack of buffers. These coaches have proven to be very successful, as they have been used in other countries, such as Ireland (albeit with gauge changed to 5'3"), Denmark and Switzerland. They also proved highly adaptable, as they were the basis for multiple classes of multiple units such as the Class 150 Sprinter and Class 442 Wessex Electric.
Livery[]
43047's coaches are painted blue and purple with red and yellow stripes.
