Merry Christmas, yah bunch of train loving!..enthusiasts

Having travelled in Mk3s, ICRs, and Cravens(i think), i would have to say that the MK3s were very comfortable, and i think the cravens were comfortable as well,( cant remember fully, it was a good while ago) But on the case of the 22000 class ICRs i find them reasonably comfortable. the only real problem I ever had with them was leg room, but i have grown used to this as they are vastly superior to other railcars, such as the 2700 class.

Hi Joe, When i started modelling myself i had a layout 8x4 with a loop(a roundy roundy as called by some!) the curves were pretty tight, a looked a bit unrealistic. with space like that in my opinion a "straight" layout with a fiddle yard and scenic breaks? Again just my opinion. I will probably get scrutinised by others for basic names for the types of layouts!

sounds like the GSR era all over again! Pure boring. the GSR battleship grey was a dark shade of grey,all locos exept the 800s were completly grey exept the buffer beam,the wagon grey was significantly lighter, but just as boring...

Ohh b*****x!

What would be a good one for a 400 class?
-
The SR Schools class is fairly close to a GNR VS class
-
Another one, the SR M7 0-4-4 to the GSR/CIE E1 class

A thread to assist those who are looking for RTR stock that could be converted to look more like the Irish stuff. To start off, My favourites, the 800s. The Royal Scot class/patriot class are the ideal locos for conversion. I'm sure Des would supply you with nameplates and number plates. Another,very easy one is the woolwich moguls,get an N class, repainted, few little alterations and away you go.

Ah stop John, I'm having me dinner!
