Ok, that makes sense now. Pretty much knew Streamline didn't mean anything as such. That finescale thing was boring a hole in my brain.
So what's true scale for broad gauge track then? i.e. how high is a prototypical rail? I guess I can do the maths after that
Paul, I'm considering Code 75 but the discussion on here will help you a bit regarding wheels etc

John, thanks for your PM. I'll commit to one heating van early design and likely a second in the later variation
(or, if I understood correctly, two kits with variations contained therein)
Sorry, but I typo'd one of the numbers and then filled in the livery to match the number
Corrected: (remaining boxes being sought)
141 original (came in the wrong box MM0141A)
156IR
161sa Supertrain
181 CIE Black
182 Supertrain
188 CIE Black
190sa Supertrain
Please PM me if you have one of these boxes that is superfluous to your requirements.
Thank you,
Kevin
Very nice set of photos, Jim. GSR, I think you're likely to find a lot of similar buildings in the O' Dea collection that would help you reconstruct this 'in the day'
A Class was right. MM00187 found and winging its way here.
Would be willing to swap my extra MM0171 for 071 class Supertrain MM0086. Latter might be used but must be in good cosmetic condition and working order.
PM me if interested.
Thank you!
187 located and in transit. Baby GMs collection complete (except for boxes)

Yes, that's a rip-off. MOst on eBay have been damaged, bits missing, gates 'repaired' or missing etc. Don't intend to pay that, may have to do without. Scalescenes doesn't look bad. May look into that. Tks
So you're saying that if the train were to derail the center rail(s) are to guide the derailed flanges along the sleepers more or less along the route rather than (say) straying all the way across, off the permanent way where the outside wheel would then fall off and the loco overturn?
So if the Supertrain EGVs seemed to match perfectly with white 'tippex' lines added, doensn't that mean there is a whole rake of individually numbered non-black roofed coaches out there that could be used for the same purpose?
Richie, I think your stock is in everyone's collection. PM me re the MK III when you can . No rush
EDIT: FIVE zeros, not four. That can't be all OO! G, liver steam or a light gauge railway perhaps? Are we talking Peter Waterman here?
