coaches and the descriptive letters

Post by TonyM »

I know that I should know this but I am always confused by the descriptive coach lettering i.e. TK, BTK is there a list describing what these leters stand for in coach formations.

The last one i saw was on Bill Bedford's website, right at the end of his 4mm price list.

Check out the sticky thread in 'Railway Chat' on our forums they’re all listed there. Remember though that TTO became TSO in 1956 when third was abandoned in favour of second. Also if you are looking at HST sets they have different meanings to loco hauled stock.
