Nice job, A4. A lot of work in doing all that I would imagine. What are you modeling with?

Thanks, Noel. Was the first section of the compo next to the diner or EGV? There were also some first coaches. Where did they fit into the rake or were these used only in specific routes/times only?

Very disappointing to see people hoard these for years for a few extra bucks. I'm sure there's many a modeler out there would like to have these to run on a layout but definitely not at that price !! Incidentally, the seller also only wishes to sell these Irish outline on the UK market!

Could somebody please remind me the typical make up of a rake of Mark 3 coaches as they would've been hauled? Obviously there would have been a generator coach on one end and a restaurant at some point in the rake. Were there six other coaches and which ones? And was there a typical formation? Many thanks

Not another, it's the same one again… and again… and… well, it's likely to be on there for a while

A bull shark is about the only shark that will travel that far into 'fresh' water and that is NOT IT!

Masking tape and a MkIII respray would exactly fit my needs at the moment!:tumbsup:

Always loved this layout, Patrick. Almost worth the trip to Ohio! These evergreens tend to grown up, you'll have to replace with larger one with in a few years:)

Super shots, Richie!

Any photos? (can't see them from here)

Richie, I didn't understand your comment about the nine windows. I thought the Mark IIIs had eight windows, +2 halves equals nine? What about the Hornby's as donors? When I looked at my own Mark threes I recalled that they don't have flush glazing. Would also be a lot easier to pick up Hornbys as I think they're still on sale in various liveries. Not sure whether the Hornby's or Limas are more prototypically correct bodywise, though.

Still looking for these if anyone can oblige. Thank you

As luck would have it I have exactly the same question. Looking to respray some Mark IIIs into supertrain livery. I do remember some discussion about this on the site but I may have been as an aside on another thread. I also seem to recall that on Wrenneires thread he refers to the Mark IIIs or at least the restaurant coach being a respray of a BR version. That being the case there may be some other donors out there for respray. Of course, that may not answer the question of which one actually proves the most prototypical donor for respray. Waiting on my ST respray of MarkII rake from one of the vendors on the site here so hoping they'll turn out well. If so, definitely moving forward with trying to find some donors to respray a ST MkIII rake. There remains the problem of a MK III EGV, of course.

Not any more

Hopefully the large pond doesn't hold it up to much. Looking forward to it!

Love the Mark III Supertrains, Anthony! Picked up some Lima Mk IIIs in IE livery. Even then it seems the coaches were more than one shade of O***ge so the coaches in the rake don't match (basically some of them are yellow). Need to get my hands on a few more mismatches so I can respray the lot into ST livery! Waiting on a rake of MM ST MkIIs to be repainted into SUPERTRAIN livery. If it's a good match, off go the MkIIIs to D&M.

John, you haven't experienced Texas. It must be the extremes of temperature that affect the cognitive processes

=))=)) I'm glad they have finally decided to simplify the process:facepalm::facepalm:

Aren't you the seller? should have put it up on the site and avoided the fees. Someone will usually want it

This is the cheapest new on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201410964305?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Lovely find, Kieran:tumbsup:

That seems expensive, even for an O gauge model, isn't it? How much did the models fetch when they were produced I wonder?
