<p>Hello Chris,</p><p>You say that the coaches were bought from Britain? I didnt think that UK coaches were suitable for use on Canadian rails unless there are high platforms the coaches would need steps to enter the coaches and the doors are hinged to open outwards and our only trains with sliding doors are DMU,and EMU type trains the only main line trains with power doors are the trains that run from London to Edinburgh with a class 91 electric loco doing push-pull,a baggage driving trailer on the other end of the train so the only coaches in use could be either mark 1 or mark 2d ,I would like to learn more.I did hear that New Zealand railways bought some ex British mk2d stock which had drastic rebuilds with powered doors and new trucks as the New Zealand gauge is 3'6" compared to our standard gauge.</p><p>Malcolm.</p>
