Conversion
packs include plastic shell vents and cast corridor connections (by
Ultima), glazing, instructions and roof plans. Note that these
conversions involve quite a bit of 'chopping' on the original coach
body. The simplest is the BG as this has the fewest windows. The most
difficult are the BTKs as they re-use the recessed door, but in a
different position.

New Restaurant car stock conversion packs are in development, H38 & H39/H40 twins in refurbished condition (with original condition to follow). These will require Dapol 'Autocoach' (9' plate) bogies to complete (Spares part Nbog2). These are awaiting completion of the masters for the specialist castings to detail the roof and underframe.
