Hi Trainzers,

This question relates to nexusdj's pendolino (class 390) set.

Does anyone know which coach needs to be repeated to change a 9-car to an 11-car pendolino? Reason I ask is because I'm trying to follow prototypical formation for Virgin West Coast's format, which is a mixture of 9 and 11 coach pendolinos.

I'm just googling this as I reply now I don't know what the normal procedure is but I normally repeat the 2nd and 8th car.

Taken from wikipedia:

390/0 (9 cars):
DMRF+MF+PTF+MF+TS
+MS+PTSRMB+MS+DMSO

390/1 (11 cars):
DMRF+MF+PTF+MF+TS+MS
+TS+MS+PTSRMB+MS+DMSO

However, looking at this is seems to be the 5th and 6th cars that are repeated

Edit: Little bit more info for you. It seems the coaches run in formation K, J, H, G, (U, F - 11 car sets only), E, D, C, B, A. I heard that the K end is typically the end nearest to the bufferstop at Euston due to it having the 1st class seats

Thankyou for that information Jack. I will be able to make use of that info on my Virgin services on Trainz.
