What are these (Bachmann Bulleid coaches)

The extra bits are the step boards for just under the doors, and for the bogies (long ones are for the guard's end, short ones for the other end). You'll probably find you don't have enough to do all the different points where the step boards are, so you might need to contact Bachmann to get more packs (if they do them - I haven't asked them yet).

They're a bit fiddly to fit, as there are no mounting points specifically for them. For precise positioning, you'll need to refer to the prototypes, either via photos or by visiting examples at preserved/heritage lines.

In my onion, the coaches look better with them than without.

Thanks very much!

I'll need to find a pic on the web then.

Mike,

These are the footsteps for the bogie.

It's a good group to join for Southern and Southern Region related railway matters, though the emails can get off topic a bit.
